Our elite level football team provides an opportunity for the best student athletes from across London to play against the top clubs in Europe. All provision is 100% free. The majority of the players are aged 17-19 and are already impressing in Step 2-4 of non league.
By providing student athletes are provided with an opportunity to compete against professional clubs both in England and in Europe we aim to encourage young people to stay on positive pathways by rewarding those who are showing a commitment to excellence.
We are thankful to those that support the club to allow all of our sports provision to be 100% free. UEFA A and B Licence coaches volunteer to lead our Elite football provision.
It was an honour to take the team to play the u23s of Club Brugge, the 2024/2025 champions of Belgium at the beautiful Schiervelde stadion. The selected players represented the club brilliantly giving their best against top quality opponents, who finished 6th in the Belgian Championship last year. Credit to the team for the outstanding performance on the day. A huge Thank you to Club Brugge for the opportunity.
In May 2025, our elite team travelled to play Wolves u21s, in what was our biggest challenge to date. We made a fantastic start, taking a 2-0 lead. Wolves responded strongly, and the score was 3-4 to Wolves on 70 minutes. Following the introduction of some younger players, Wolves scored 3 more goals. However, it was a great effort from the team. Our behaviour, attitude and performance was praised by staff at the Premier League club.
In March 2025, we took 17 outstanding student athletes from London to compete against two of the most historic clubs in Italy. We faced Parma and Sampdoria at their training grounds in Northern Italy. The behaviour, attitude and performance of the students was absolutely fantastic with each and every representing the club well.
In May 2024, we took 20 outstanding student athletes from Tottenham to Holland and Belgium. It was a fantastic trip that rewarded those students who have shown a great attitude to their education in the last 5 years. We competed against world famous teams including PSV Eindhoven and Standard Liege.
"On behalf of PSV Academy we were happy to host Estudiantes London for a game on Tuesday 28th of May 2024.
The team with players and staff were all respectful and polite during their visit to our training ground. It was great to see the enthusiasm and positivity from the players.
When possible from both sides, we are happy to get in contact again for future matches. Wish you all the best with Estudiantes London!"
Thanks to a grant from the Jack Petchey Foundation, we were able to take our elite football team to compete against RC Lens, one of the very top clubs in France. The trip was used to recognise the incredible impact Jeremy Jonata made during his internship with us from Loughborough University. We extend our thanks to Jeremy for his gamechanging service to the young people we work with
