Palmeiras off to the Netherlands chasing international U15 titles | OneFootball

Palmeiras begins another important chapter in its youth academy journey. This Wednesday (3), the under-15 team travels to the Netherlands, where it will compete in two traditional international tournaments: the De Zorggenoten Arnhem Cup and the Marveld Tournament.

The Academy Boys head into this run of challenges in European football with momentum. Last weekend, Verdão thrashed Grêmio 4-1 away from home and secured a place in the knockout stage of the Under-15 Copa do Brasil, a result that boosts the squad’s confidence for the trip.

The first competition will be the De Zorggenoten Arnhem Cup, held on June 6 and 7 in the city of Arnhem. Palmeiras is in Group A alongside Cercle Brugge, Excelsior, and Vitesse. The top two teams advance to the semifinals, where they will face teams from the other group, made up of AZ Alkmaar, Willem II, Viking FK, and Lyngby.

The young players’ expectations are high as they prepare to represent the club in another international competition. Midfielder Davi Lucas highlighted the team’s preparation and the importance of the experience they will have in Europe.

After the Arnhem Cup, Palmeiras will continue its schedule in the Netherlands to take part in the Marveld Tournament, from June 12 to 14. In the group stage, Verdão will face strong opponents such as PSV, Ajax, and Bayer Leverkusen, as well as Twente Heracles and Right to Dream.
