A group of young players set to join the Philadelphia Union Pre-Academy this fall recently beat up on teams from France, Portugal and Singapore en route to lifting a trophy at the IberCup in Portugal.
The U9 team from Continental FC earned a berth to the prestigious tournament in qualifiers down in Texas in the spring. While they were there they outscored opponents 40-4, winning all seven of their matches.
“The pure joy of the boys when they won both championships was amazing,” head coach Scott Spangler said of both the Dallas and Portugal performances.
