The matches will last between 15 and 30 minutes, the exact time will be determined at the close of entries. To mix different cultures, each team will consist of up to four players of the same nationality.

As in 2012, the football tournament comes with a beach soccer tournament for youths aged 10 to 12 years and 13 to 17 years, which will also allow more young people to participate in a sporting event.

Regarding the structure of the Meeting of Nations, various activities will be offered throughout the day: sports workshops and sports demonstrations, music and dance and various activities will be held for children. In addition, food stalls will allow spectators and participants to discover the culinary specialties of different countries.
