We’re excited to reveal the official groups for this year’s tournament, taking place from June 7th to 9th at FC Den Bosch. The groups have been set, and we cannot wait to see these incredible U14 teams from across Europe and beyond compete for the title in what promises to be a thrilling and high-quality youth football event.
This will be the third edition of the Den Bosch International Tournament. In the inaugural year, Northern Ireland U14 lifted the trophy after an impressive performance, while in the second edition, Bologna FC showcased their strength and took home the title. We are proud to welcome Bologna back again this year, as they aim to defend their title against a strong and diverse field of contenders.
FC Den Bosch is once again taking part now as the only Dutch representative. In 2023, they finished 16th, and in 2024, they climbed one spot to 15th. Will this be the year they break into the top 14? Playing on home soil with passionate support, they will certainly be looking to impress and challenge the international opposition.
This year’s edition features a record number of international participants. With 15 teams from outside the Netherlands and just one domestic team, the 2025 tournament truly reflects the growing international reputation of the event. Clubs from Portugal, Belgium, Finland, Singapore, Sweden, Estonia, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Italy and more will be travelling to Den Bosch to test themselves against top opposition.
Each team will compete in a group of four, playing three group-stage matches before heading into classification rounds to determine the final rankings. The full schedule, including all match times and venues, is available here: https://www.tournify.nl/live/dbitfootball2025
We thank all participating clubs, players, coaches, and supporters for their enthusiasm and trust. Preparations are in full swing, and we look forward to welcoming you all for what promises to be an unforgettable tournament weekend in Den Bosch!
