Opening Ceremony

The Opening Ceremony is the most iconic and exciting event of the Donosti Cup. A one-hour show that brings together thousands of people in a unique atmosphere, featuring live music, choreographed performances, light and sound effects, and the much-anticipated Parade of Delegations, where one team from each club represents its country or region.
