The 4th Edition of the PSG Academy Senegal Championship: Bigger, Bolder, and More Impactful

Strive Football Group is proud to announce the return of the PSG Academy Senegal Championship, now in its 4th edition. This year’s tournament promises to be the most ambitious yet, with 39 teams and over 600 players competing across six categories, culminating in the highly anticipated finals at the PSG Academy Saly complex in May 2025. The championship continues to solidify Strive’s role as a platform for youth development and football excellence in Senegal and West Africa.

Since its inception, the PSG Academy Senegal Championship has grown into a vital initiative for players, coaches, and clubs alike. For youth players, it offers a chance to showcase their talents on a competitive stage. For clubs, it provides legitimate motivations to push their limits, and for coaches, it’s a space to test their philosophies and strategies in real-game scenarios.

This year, the tournament expands not only in scale but also in structure, with the inclusion of six distinct categories: U13, U15, U17 Saly region, U17 Dakar region, U20 Saly region, and U20 Dakar region. Previously, the championship featured only four categories, without splitting the U17 and U20 age groups by region. This new format allows for greater participation and ensures a more competitive environment, as teams from different regions of Senegal bring their unique styles and talents to the field. The addition of these new categories reflects the growing influence and reach of the championship, elevating it to new heights.

Supported by local partners, this initiative reflects Strive Football Group’s unwavering commitment to innovation and growth. By creating opportunities that weren’t previously available, the championship has become a beacon of inspiration and a steppingstone for young athletes aspiring to reach the next level.

Strive’s mission extends beyond the borders of Senegal. With a global perspective, the championship builds bridges for young players to be noticed by scouts and clubs from both Europe and Africa, further reinforcing the group’s dedication to creating pathways for success. This year’s event is a testament to the creativity, persistence, and vision of Strive Football Group, ensuring that the tournament continues to attract participants of the highest caliber.

With 39 teams and more than 600 players vying for glory, this year’s edition is the largest and most competitive yet. As we celebrate the 4th edition of this remarkable championship, we remain steadfast in our belief that football is more than just a game—it’s a platform for shaping futures, fostering community, and inspiring ambition.

Stay tuned for updates as we continue to push boundaries and create opportunities for youth players in Senegal and beyond.
