Neymar Jr's Five to kick off in Qatar on April 22
Brazil and Barcelona great Neymar Jr is calling football players between the ages of 16 and 25 in Qatar to team up for his five-a-side tournament ‘Neymar Jr’s Five’.
Six qualifiers will be held starting April 22 until May 7, from 2:30pm onwards, at the Porto Arabia - The Pearl.
Sixteen teams will then compete in the national finals, scheduled on Friday, May 13, at Qanat Quartier, Lido Veneziat at The Pearl.
Football fans in Qatar can register their teams online at www.neymarjrsfive.com
The winning team will represent Qatar against teams from 44 countries during the world finals in Brazil, which will take place in July, 2016.
But that’s not all. The champion team will be guests of Neymar Jr in Barcelona and will get to watch a match involving Barcelona at Camp Nou.
“A hint that I would give to everybody is to enjoy themselves playing in this tournament. Everybody wants to win, wants to be the champion, but it’s only one team that will win it! The team should enjoy that unique moment of playing or even watching those games, and believe in their dream. I believe that with a football ball and a goal, or even with a football ball and two pair of flip-flops you can be very happy,” said Neymar Jr.
Neymar Jr’s Five is the world’s first and only Neymar Jr signature football tournament going into its premiere in 2016.
The Qatar qualifiers are organized in collaboration with Instituto Projeto Neymar Jr, The Pearl, Vodafone Qatar, United Development Co. and Shop & Ship.

If only I was five years younger :O(
Any idea where either of those locations are? Unless they are going to build a 5 a side pitch I don't think there is anything in either of these locations?
