NEW 25/26 SEASON KIT
June marked an exciting milestone at Talent-X Football Academy with the official launch of our brand-new kit for the 2025/26 season. Designed with performance, pride, and identity in mind, the updated look reflects the energy and ambition of our players and staff. We’re proud to see our teams step out in a kit that represents the next chapter of growth for the academy bold, modern, and ready for the challenges ahead.
The launch was met with huge excitement from players across all age groups, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. The kit not only looks the part, but is also built for performance made with lightweight, breathable materials to support our players on and off the pitch.
From training sessions to match days, the new kit represents who we are: focused, united, and driven to succeed. We can’t wait to see the Talent-X badge worn with pride throughout the season ahead.

SHOWCASE GAMES
U9s Showcase Talent Against Brentford FC Academy
Our U9s had an exciting series of competitive fixtures against Brentford FC Academy this month. These games are vital for their development, giving them the chance to test their skills against high-quality opposition and gain valuable match experience.
Superstar U6s and U7s Gain Top-Level Experience
Our U6s took part in a great fixture against Fulham FC, soaking up the atmosphere and learning from a professional environment. Similarly, our U7s faced off against Sheffield United, gaining important experience that will help shape their football journeys.
Providing these elite opportunities is a key part of the Talent-X pathway, and we’re proud to see all our young players growing and improving every day.
barcerlona girls cup 2025
June saw a huge highlight for our Girls Academy as we travelled to Spain for the Barcelona Girls Cup 2025 a truly unforgettable tour filled with elite football, sunshine, and unforgettable memories.
We took a mixed squad of U11 to U14 players, who quickly bonded into one team and one family. Across the weekend, the girls faced strong international opposition and rose to the challenge with confidence and flair. Their performances on the pitch were nothing short of inspiring, brave in possession, relentless in defence, and always looking to express themselves with creativity and energy.
Off the pitch, the girls were just as impressive respectful, kind, hilarious, and full of heart. From team dinners to beach trips and everything in between, the atmosphere was electric and the friendships formed will last far beyond this tour.
For our coaches and staff, this trip was a reminder of what our Girls Academy is all about creating high-level football opportunities, nurturing character, and building a culture that celebrates both talent and togetherness.
We’re incredibly proud of every single player who represented Talent-X in Barcelona.
