Gothia Cup is one of the world’s largest and most prestigious youth soccer tournaments, bringing together top clubs, academies, and players from more than 80 nations each year in Gothenburg, Sweden.

KK Football Club made its Gothia Cup debut in 2026 with two boys teams. Our 2013s advanced to the Round of 32, while our 2012s reached the Round of 16, competing against strong international opposition on one of the biggest stages in youth soccer.

Following a successful first year, we are excited to return to Gothenburg in 2027 with an expanded presence. We will be bringing four boys teams: 2015, 2014, 2012, and 2011, giving more players from across the United States the opportunity to represent KK Football Club and compete internationally.

All players must complete the recruitment form to be considered for team selection.

Seperate Payments to be discussed if/when a player is selected for the roster.

Want players to be able to go & not making a full payment all at once, be a problem for family!

This is our 3rd International Tournament & all players are expected to be of professional standards. Players will have room checks every night (clean room, lights off, etc.).

All team communication will be done through WhatsApp once teams are finalized. Outside of matches & any team activities, players & families will be free to do whatever they would like, especially for lunch & dinner. We will try to work a few team activities out (tourism or food) but for most part parents will be able to take their players when we have no games.

Players will get out of their comfort zone & experience something they most likely never have, which is great: foreign country, new players & coach, time zone change, rooming with other players, new playing style, etc.
