This summer, Minnesota Select FC’s U16 and U18 Boys teams enjoyed a 10-day soccer tour across Northern Portugal and Galicia, Spain. During their stay, they competed in four friendly matches against high-caliber teams. The teams they faced included ED Val Minor, a top youth academy club, Coruxo CF in Spain, as well as SC Braga and Celta Vigo. Apart from the friendly matches, the teams also participated in training sessions led by the pro clubs and attended the UEFA Europa League qualifier SC Braga – Servette. This tour not only provided the players with valuable international play experience but also the opportunity to engage with different football cultures and styles.
