The Athletic Club Football Academy (Acfa) in Windhoek is sending 50 young footballers and eight officials to Spain for the Mad Cup 2026 tournament in Madrid. The academy's under-12, under-14, and under-15 teams will compete against over 800 international teams from June 18-25. This participation follows successful international competitions last year and is seen as a crucial part of player development, offering exposure to different football cultures and life skills.
Preparations for the trip, which began nearly a year ago, involved extensive fundraising and logistical planning by a dedicated committee. For many of the 50 young players, this will be their first experience traveling outside of Namibia, highlighting the academy's commitment to providing opportunities for talented youth, with efforts underway to secure sponsorships for those facing financial barriers.
The tournament provides a significant international platform for young Namibian footballers to test their skills against global competition, fostering both athletic development and valuable life experiences.
