Leandro Wins the 2025 World Best Tourier Award: A Human and Purpose-Driven Victory

After four intense days of passion, precision, and incredible perseverance, Leandro has been crowned World Best Tourier 2025 at the international competition in Vannes. A remarkable achievement for this young Uruguayan talent — and a proud moment for the entire Phoenix community.

This success is also the result of meaningful guidance. A special recognition goes to David (@vitus_the_baker), his inspiring coach, whose generosity, discipline, and commitment made this journey possible. And to @leaaganem, whose energy and dedication continuously amplify the collective spirit behind the project.

Trained within the Fundación Phoenix, Leandro embodies the values we stand for: the strength of vocation, the power of education, and the belief that, with the right mentor and a supportive environment, anything becomes possible.

This victory is not only technical: it is artisanal, human, and deeply engaged.

Thank you to everyone who believed in, supported, and carried this project.

This is an important milestone — and truly just the beginning. Because “being the change we wish to see in the world” also means celebrating those who bring that change to life with courage and humility.
