The third edition of the Den Bosch International Tournament took place on 7, 8 and 9 June 2025 at FC Den Bosch, Stadion De Vliert, bringing together top U14 teams from across Europe and beyond for a weekend of high-level youth football.
Initially, we planned to host 16 teams, with only one Dutch participant, our host club FC Den Bosch. However, just two days before the tournament, we received a cancellation from Swiss Pranic Academy, reducing the final count to 15 teams. Despite this last-minute change, the tournament ran smoothly, maintaining a high level of competition throughout the weekend.
The first two days were marked by rain, creating challenging conditions for players and staff, but on the final day, the sun broke through, providing perfect conditions for the closing matches and the final.
Finnish teams performed strongly this year, with FC Honka crowned as the 2025 champion after a tense final decided on penalties, while PK-35 Vantaa also reached the semi-finals. In this U14 age category, these clubs are among Finland’s strongest academy teams, and their performances in Den Bosch confirmed their reputation for developing top-level youth talent.
Sporting Portugal secured third place after an impressive run in the tournament, while Union Saint-Gilloise from Belgium finished as the runner-up.
