The 2025/26 campaign has been a strong one across all age groups of the Addicks' academy.
The U12s and U14s teams have both had standout seasons, combining strong results with excellent individual and collective performances throughout the course of the year.
U12s reach national and international finals
The U12s have competed well this season across their games programme, tours and national cup. The group competed in a mixed 11s/12s tournament in Latvia. The young Addicks reached the final, eventually losing on penalties, but scored an impressive 27 goals across their four games. U12s player Harley Mitchell was voted Player of the Tournament.
The group also progressed into the national cup final against Bristol City, after impressive displays in the quarter and semi-final stages of the competition.
U14s crowned EFL National Tournament champions
The U14s have enjoyed a stellar 2025/26 campaign, having competed in multiple tournaments and excelled in their games programme.
They were crowned champions of the EFL National Tournament, after beating Preston North End in the final. The competition required the young Addicks to compete in three separate qualifying rounds on their route to the final.
The squad topped their group in the opening round, won their regional final, and ultimately finished the tournament as champions, recording an impressive 11 victories from 13 matches.
