Athletic Club Football Academy will send 50 young footballers and eight officials to Spain next week to compete in the prestigious Mad Cup 2026 in Madrid, Spain.
The Windhoek-based academy will be represented by its under-12, under-14 and under-15 teams at the tournament, which runs from 18 to 25 June and is expected to attract more than 800 teams from around the world.
Athletic Club Football Academy (Acfa) technical director Ricky Averia says the academy’s participation follows a successful trip to the Gothia Cup in Sweden and the Dana Cup in Denmark last year.
“Through networking and meeting other teams and managers, they recommended that we participate in the Mad Cup as well. We decided to give it a go with the interest from both the players and parents,” Averia says.
