The COTIF Women's Football Tournament is a Spanish annual women's football summer tournament held in L'Alcúdia, Valencia. First held in 2012, it is the women's football section of the L'Alcúdia International Football Tournament.
Unlike the male tournament, which is played by U-20 clubs and national teams, the women's tournament is contested by senior teams. It has gradually progressed from local to international in scope.
2011 edit
Held on 12 August. It was a single match confronting the two Valencian teams in the top national championship, Levante UD and Valencia CF.[1] Levante won the first of three trophies in a row.
2012 edit
Held from 16 to 22 August. Levante UD and Valencia CF were joined by two local teams from the second tier's Group 7, CFF Marítim and Mislata CF. The two top teams in a round robin first stage qualified for the final, with Levante again defeating Valencia by the same score.[2]
