Designed to power footballing development, on and off the pitch. Huddle’s CTRL Cup will redefine preseason, blending quality competition, elite coaching and off-pitch experiences.

A melting pot of the World’s best schools, clubs and global academies – training, competing and learning together. The ultimate preseason event; combining warm-up fixtures and tournament play with on pitch training sessions, analysis workshops and team seminars.

The week’s programming will be designed to optimise performance ahead of the 26/27 season. Giving careful consideration to player loading to strike the right balance of play and conditioning, alongside prehab and gym sessions ensuring attending teams have a true competitive advantage for the season ahead.

Beyond team preparation, The CTRL Cup is a launchpad for future leaders of the game – on the pitch and across the entire footballing ecosystem. The week’s programming will consist of workshops and activations designed to unearth the diverse career and developmental pathways across the game, beyond the sidelines.

A curated event that brings to life Huddle’s belief that although not every young athlete will become a pro-player they do have the potential to become a professional in sport.
