Club NXT U16/U17 - Olympique de Marseille U16/U17
A mix of Club NXT U16/U17 took on Olympique de Marseille in a friendly match at The NEST. This encounter took place prior to the Champions League duel between Club Brugge and Olympique de Marseille at fort Jan Breydel.

Club NXT U13 wins 2nd place in Delfzijl
Club NXT U13 took part in the international tournament Eurocup Delfzijl in January, where they had a strong and instructive weekend. The team grew in every match, showed nice steps and played themselves into the spotlight. This eventually earned them a handsome second place. They took on tough opponents such as Sporting CP, Feyenoord, FC Groningen, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool FC. In the final awaited FC Bayern, who proved just a little stronger, allowing Club NXT U13 to finish the tournament with a more than deserved second place.
