Stellenbosch FC secured their second title in three years with a convincing 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur to clinch the prestigious trophy. Captain Shaakir Ahmed and Kyle Bailey were the heroes of the final, with their goals securing the win.
This victory follows their DStv Diski Challenge triumph earlier in the year, solidifying their dominance in youth football and building on their previous successes in the competition.
Stellenbosch’s journey to the title was flawless. They topped their group, defeating Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and Crystal Palace without conceding a single goal. Their impressive defensive record continued in the final as they completed a perfect tournament.
Indeed, this marks their second Premier League Next Generation Title in two years, having dispatched Leicester City 7-2 in 2022 before finishing as runners-up in 2023 following a penalty shootout defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
