YSE Champions Cup 2025,

About the event

The YSE Champions cup is an idea we had to bring the best academy teams from across Europe to the UK, where they will pit themselves against some of the best and well known grassroots and private academy teams from across the UK.

This tournament was started to create long lasting memories for players that will live with them forever. This is the only place where a Sunday league grassroots team can test themselves against the mighty FC Barcelona from Spain, or the mighty Benfica from Portugal. 

The YSE Cup takes place over one weekend in May, where we see over 8,000 spectators watching some of the best football they will witness in one of the best atmospheres they will encounter. The YSE cup is the only place where you will see 16 GRASS PITCHES all in use at the same time, games going on in every direction you can look. This tournament is so unique, that we have had spectators return year on year, even if their child's team has not entered the tournament, they come just for the atmosphere and experience.

Over the years, we have built up some fantastic relationships with some of the biggest clubs in the world, which has allowed us to grow the tournament year on year. However, we are now at the stage where we want to expand to become the number 1 tournament in Europe, and to do this takes investment and sponsorship.

The YSE Champions cup is now going into it's fifth year, and it's the only tournament, where a local Sunday team can play against some of the best acadmey teams in the world, such as Arsenal, FC Barcelona, West Ham, just to name a few.

Having organised some of the biggest events in yotuh football over the last 7 years, we want to now grow and expand this tournament, so we can make more dreams come true for kids, but also continue to create ever lasting memories for all those in attendance.

We want someome who believes in the same values we do, but is also willing to work with us to grow and expand and be part of something quite unique and special.
