Trofeo Villa de Gijón

The Trofeo Villa de Gijón, called Trofeo Costa Verde until 1992, is a friendly association football tournament played annually since 1962 in Estadio Municipal El Molinón in Gijón, Asturias, Spain. The tournament is played between Spanish club Sporting Gijón and one or more invited teams.

Since the tournament is called Villa de Gijón, the trophy is a rendering of the monument Elogio del Horizonte of Eduardo Chillida.

The tournament was suspended in the following years:

• 1971: Suspended due to the works to change the pitch.
• 1981: Suspended due to the expansion of the stadium for the 1982 FIFA World Cup.
• 1987: The tournament was changed by a tribute to Quini.
• 1995: Suspended due to the financial crisis of Sporting Gijón.
• 2009 and 2010: Suspended due to the renovation of the stadium.
• 2017 and 2018: Suspended due to the works to change the pitch.
