Palmeiras’ youth academy continues to show its strength in Brazil and abroad. The club’s Under-12 team is already in Madrid, where it will compete in the traditional LaLiga FC Futures, which starts this Wednesday (25) and runs until Sunday (29).

The competition brings together 20 clubs from different parts of the world, divided into four groups of five teams each. Palmeiras is in Group A alongside Boca Juniors, Flamengo, Inter Miami, and River Plate. Only the top two teams in each group advance to the quarterfinals.

The tournament also features giants of world football such as Arsenal, Atlético de Madrid, Barcelona, Internazionale, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid, highlighting the high level of the competition.

More than just a tournament, LaLiga FC Futures is known for uncovering talents who later shine in world football. Names such as Iker Casillas, Gerard Piqué, Andrés Iniesta, Xavi Hernández, and Lamine Yamal have already taken part in the tournament at youth level.

The Palmeiras delegation arrives riding an impressive run of titles. The group won the 2025 São Paulo State Under-11 Championship after beating São Paulo Futebol Clube in the final. Then, in 2026, it lifted another trophy by winning the New Cup in Paraná, defeating Grêmio in the decisive match.
