About

Champions Youth Cup, is a “World Championship” for the youth teams of the world’s greatest clubs.

Held in Malaysia at Under-19 level for the first time last year, "CYC" turned out to be a huge success with Manchester United winning the inaugural title.

Frank Arnesen, Chelsea FC Director of Youth Development said that it was “the best youth tournament I have seen in 40 years of football.”

Former Manchester United great, and now the club’s Director of the youth academy, Brian McClair, told Manutd.com: “It was such a great experience playing some of the best teams in Europe that you just cannot replicate. You won’t get a better competition anywhere. There were plenty of benefits and no bad experiences.”

CYC was the inspiration of the world's greatest clubs to:

- Offer football a fresh and unique spectacle. 
- Offer the next generation of stars an opportunity to compete against each other. 
- Demonstrate their commitment to youth and to the development of the stars of tomorrow. 
- Support the communities that have supported them and to assist the development of football around the world.
