The Maurice Revello Tournament (officially French: the Festival International "Espoirs" – Tournoi Maurice Revello), previously known as the Toulon Tournament, is a football tournament, which traditionally features invited national teams composed of youth players from U-17 to U-23 level. Although the first tournament in 1967 featured club teams, it has been limited to national teams since 1975 (except in 1986 and 1989 when INF Vichy was invited). The tournament is held around Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, with the final usually being held in Toulon. The tournament was renamed in honour of Maurice Revello, who started the tournament in 1967 and died in 2016.

History

Toulon Tournament is a tournament not run under the supervision of FIFA or an individual national association. Therefore, it is deemed as the most prestigious of all friendly tournaments involving youth teams, and considered an unofficial world championship before FIFA introduced the official World Youth Cup in 1977. Despite the establishment of the FIFA U-20 World Cup and later, FIFA U-17 World Cup however, the Toulon Tournament remains an important tournament for youth football teams.

Maurice Revello noorteturniir on iga-aastane Prantsusmaal Toulonis korraldatav rahvusvaheline jalgpallivõistlus alla 21-aastaste koondistele. Turniir on nimetatud endise Prantsusmaa jalgpalliliidu presidendi Maurice Revello järgi.

Esimene turniir toimus 1967. aastal ja see on üks maailma kõige mainekamaid alla 21-aastaste jalgpallivõistlusi. Turniiril on osalenud paljud tulevased jalgpallistaarid, sealhulgas Michel Platini, Zinedine Zidane ja Thierry Henry.

Turniir toimub tavaliselt juunis ja selles osaleb kaheksa meeskonda. Meeskonnad on jagatud kahte alagruppi ja iga alagrupi võitja jõuab finaali.

Turniir on olnud väga edukas ja seda peetakse maailma üheks parimaks alla 21-aastaste jalgpallivõistluseks.
