Also in attendance will be Neymar Jr himself, who will crown this year's winners in the mixed and female categories. The winning teams will then get the chance to play a match each against the Brazilian superstar and a hand-picked selection of world-class teammates.
It's football, but not quite as we know it. In Red Bull Neymar Jr's Five, a unique set of rules guarantees plenty of fast-paced action and drama.
