After a hugely successful debut in 2024, the Cringleford Cup is back — bigger and better for 2025!

This exciting 5-a-side youth football tournament will bring together 128 teams and over 1,000 players, from U7 to U14, for a weekend of fast-paced, inclusive football. Played on top-quality grass and 3G pitches, with qualified referees and teams attending from France, Germany, Kuwait, and across the UK, the Cringleford Cup 2025 promises a genuine international flavour and a fantastic showcase of youth football.

The first day involves group games in a single round robin. Then, the first places of one group will play with the first places of another group, the second places with the second and so on. All participants will move on to the next stage, where players from both the top and bottom of the group will face their certain group round and an elimination Play Off.

The second day is again split into two groups, with results on the first day dictating these. These will progress onto a more traditional quarter final, semi final and final.
