Our two flagship competitions—the Youth GBA Tournament and the Paris World Cup—represent the pinnacle of youth football excellence in our development pathway. Through these tournaments, players gain invaluable competitive experience, international exposure, and the chance to be scouted by professional coaches and technical directors.
YOUTH GBA TOURNAMENT
The PSG Youth GBA Tournament is a premier youth football event that unites over 300 young talents from across the Greater Bay Area (GBA), including Hong Kong, Macau, and Guangdong. Held annually, this dynamic competition features categories for U9, U11, U13, and U15 teams. Top venues like the Macau Workers’ Stadium and the Christian Alliance International School of Hong Kong host the matches. Beyond the pitch, the tournament embodies PSG Academy’s philosophy of development over results, emphasizing technical growth, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Participants enjoy a vibrant cultural exchange, including awards galas, city tours, and networking opportunities. Their peers and coaches come from all across the GBA region.
More than just a tournament, the event is a celebration of football’s power to connect communities. Players receive exclusive PSG kits and compete for honors. The Dembele Award (Best Player) and the Donnarumma Award (Best Goalkeeper) are two of the most prestigious awards of the tournament. An important highlight is PSG’s commitment to gender inclusivity, with the Katoto Award (Best Female Player) recognizing outstanding contributions from young female athletes. With each edition, the GBA Tournament expands its reach, solidifying its role as a cornerstone of youth football development in Asia.
PSG ACADEMY WORLD CUP
