Without a doubt, 2025 has been a great year for Kaptiva Sports and, therefore, for Kaptiva Sports Academy. We continue to grow, and that means we can offer new and better opportunities for our kids. That’s why we want to take a look back at the year and review the KSA 2025 Highlights.
First of all, you can check out the Kaptiva Sports blog post with the 2025 Recap. There you will also find further information and details about Kaptiva Global Stage, the training clinics and other Experiences.
Kaptiva Sports Academy shines at the MIC and Cruyff Football Tournament
Two tournaments have been the highlight events of this year for KSA. The first of these, the MIC 2025, saw all four of our teams progress beyond the group stage for the first time. It was a source of pride for all the staff, who could see how a whole year’s sweat and hard work was paying off.
Likewise, the recent Cruyff Football Tournament saw us reach two finals in the silver phase. In one of them, with the U16 team, we lifted the Silver Trophy. These are great achievements that deserve our sincere congratulations. The boys showed everything they are capable of on the field, achieving a hard-fought victory.
In addition, they also taught us how they are off the field, promoting friendship, respect, and teamwork in all areas. Because in the end, as we have said on other occasions, that is what attending a tournament is all about. At Kaptiva Sports Academy, we care about results, but we care even more about the personal development of each individual, using these experiences and events to improve.
Cultural exchange with two international training clinics: Benfica and Bayern
As you know, every season we promote cultural exchange and learning from major national and international clubs. In the 24/25 season, the boys visited Betis in Sevilla and Benfica in Lisbon. In the current 25/26 season, they have already visited Bayern in Munich, and will later visit the Real Madrid Foundation in the capital.
During the three days that these training clinics last, the boys not only learn new methodologies, exercises, and strategies from official coaches. They also enjoy cultural activities, city tours, and some free time. This helps them connect and enjoy a change of scenery.
After returning to the Academy, it’s time to reflect on what they’ve learned and try to adapt it to the Kaptiva methodology. Thus, little by little, they gain experience and knowledge about European football in all its aspects, becoming more complex and complete players.
Of course, we haven’t forgotten about the Summer Camps, another gateway to Kaptiva Sports Academy with training sessions and fun activities, allowing you to enjoy the summer without neglecting football. Remember that you can now register for the 2026 Summer Camps.
These have been the KSA 2025 Highlights. We want more in 2026, but these days Kaptiva Sports Academy is empty, waiting for the boys to return in January with their batteries recharged. In the meantime, we wish you happy holidays and hope you enjoy your loved ones. Merry Christmas!
