Last Sunday (28), Palmeiras’ Under-11 team won the 2026 Bellmare International Cup, a traditional tournament held in the city of Hiratsuka, Japan. In the final, the Academy prospects beat Godazi Dream-COR 1-0, with a goal from Arthur Vicente, securing another international trophy for Palmeiras’ youth system.

With the title, Verdão claimed its sixth Bellmare International Cup trophy. Previously, the club had won the tournament in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2024, and 2025. In all of its title-winning campaigns, Palmeiras finished unbeaten.

In the 2026 edition, Palmeiras delivered a dominant performance. The team won all four of its matches, scored 17 goals, and conceded none. Forward Davizinho finished as the competition’s top scorer with six goals, while Arthur Vicente was named the tournament’s best player. Enzo Valente received the award for best goalkeeper.

The title in Japan also reinforces the excellent season of the Under-11 squad. It was Palmeiras’ fourth trophy in 2026. Before the Bellmare International Cup, the Academy prospects had already won the GO Cup, the Sanca Cup, and the New Cup, defeating FC Dallas, GP Soccer, and Grêmio in the respective finals.
