During the week of Easter, between April 14th and April 20th, some of our academy players had the incredible privilege of being selected to participate in their first international tournaments—an experience they will surely remember for years to come.

Our younger 2017 and 2015 teams embarked on an exciting journey to Barcelona to compete in the prestigious annual Barça Academy World Cup, a tournament that unites Barça Academies from around the globe. This event offered our players not only a chance to test their skills on an international stage but also to engage with fellow athletes from diverse cultures, all sharing a common foundation in the Barça methodology. The atmosphere was electric as our players proudly represented Miami and demonstrated the values and playing style we instill every day in training. At the same time, our 2012 PRO and 2007 PRO teams headed to Costa Brava to participate in the renowned Mediterranean International Cup (MIC), one of Europe’s most competitive youth tournaments.

Facing off against elite opposition, including academies from professional clubs like Newcastle United FC and RCD Mallorca, our players rose to the challenge with determination and heart. Across both tournaments, our teams showcased not only their talent but also their sportsmanship, unity, and passion for the game. We are immensely proud of how they represented our Miami program on such prominent international platforms, and we look forward to building on these unforgettable experiences in the future!
