  • City’s Under-18s competed in the Generation adidas Cup last week
  • The Foxes youngsters played seven matches at the tournament
  • Adam Barradell’s team concluded the competition with back-to-back draws
  • U18 Premier League South duties return this weekend for Leicester
Spending over a week in the Sunshine state, there were valuable experiences in the heat of Bradenton for the young Foxes, taking part in a tournament which included 80 teams from 14 different countries, with Orlando City SC eventually crowned champions, defeating Colorado Rapids in the Championship Final.
The second half of the competition following the group stage - which saw City place third in Group A, behind New York Red Bulls and Minnesota United, but ahead of Vancouver Whitecaps – began with a last-16 play-off match against Charlotte FC at IMG Academy Field last Wednesday, to decide who would progress into the Premier phase.
The Foxes youngsters played seven matches across the tournament.

A goalless draw in normal time forced a shootout in which the MLS side claimed a 3-1 success. The result moved Leicester into the Showcase phase, firstly losing 2-1 to Cincinnati on Thursday.
Recovering from that disappointment, the side coached by Adam Barradell held D.C. United to a 0-0 draw two days later, though it led to a 4-3 victory on penalties for the Washington-based outfit.
The tournament concluded for our youngsters with a six-goal thriller against St. Louis City SC on Sunday afternoon, drawing 3-3 to end on a positive note, and place 20th in the overall standings.
City will now return home for the remainder of the U18 Premier League South season, resuming with a home fixture against Tottenham Hotspur, facing the Lilywhites at LCFC Training Ground this Saturday (11:30am BST kick-off).
