On Tuesday, Major League Soccer and MLS Next announced details for the 2025 Generation adidas Cup, which will mark the largest and most competitive tournament to date.
The 2025 edition of the premier international youth tournament will feature 80 teams, representing 14 different countries, and four continents. International powerhouses FC Bayern, Inter Milan, and Palmeiras will be among the clubs competing against MLS academies at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., from April 12-20. The 80 teams will be split evenly at the U18 and U16 age groups and will include four MLS Next Elite Academies (non-MLS academies), which qualified via their performance at MLS Next Fest in December 2024.
The New England Revolution Academy will be included as a participant.
