The trips form one part of the bespoke games programme which is designed to prepare our Academy players for their senior careers in whatever way possible, including by complimenting the domestic league schedule with additional experiences in England and abroad.
With no games scheduled in Premier League 2 or the U18 Premier League this week, players in our Professional Development Phase (Under-17s to Under-21s) will travel to the South of France for training sessions and behind-closed-doors fixtures at AS Monaco and OGC Nice.
Meanwhile, other age groups will participate in competitions or in friendly games in Spain (Med Cup), the USA (MLS Cup), the Netherlands (HVV Star) and Brussels (Brussels Cup). Later in April, the Under-14s will complete a Holocaust Education Trip to Poland while another age group competes in Czechia at the Karlovy Cup.
