Volkswagen of America, the official automotive partner of Major League Soccer, has launched the Volkswagen Junior Masters, a 20-country, international youth soccer tournament.

Created by Volkswagen AG, the international competition is the first of its kind in the U.S. One team will have the honor of representing the U.S. (and will enjoy an all expenses paid trip) at the Volkswagen Junior World Master Finals in May 2010 prior to the FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

The Volkswagen Junior Masters tournament runs from July 20th through October 2009 and builds upon the company’s global commitment to the sport.

Check out the official VW Junior Masters site to get more information about the Junior Masters tournament, learn how to celebrate a goal like a pro, and even enter for your chance to win a one year lease on a Volkswagen Routan!
