The finalists will remove the ticket to participate in Murramundo , the international championship of Mediterranean morra players scheduled for next year.
In the amphitheater of Piazza Funtana Bècia and in front of the large mural representing the game, the best murra players of Sardinia are expected .
The tournament, which has been part of Urzulei's tradition since 1998 and is one of the essential appointments for game enthusiasts, this year will be organized by the cultural association "Po Su Jocu De Sa Murra" in collaboration with the Pro loco of the country and the Fedales 72 Orthullè committee.
