2025 saw us chosen to represent England at the Gothia Cup's 50th year anniversary opening ceremony! On, and off the pitch, REPs Football found massive success. Our teams unfortunately dipping out in the round of 8.
"We are incredibly grateful to Reps Football for giving our son the amazing opportunity to take part in the Gothia Cup. It was a dream come true for him — playing at an international tournament, meeting talented players from all over the world, and experiencing football at a completely new level.
From the very beginning, the organisation and communication were excellent. The coaches showed great professionalism, care, and support, both on and off the pitch. They created a positive and motivating environment that helped the boys grow not just as players, but as a team.
Thank you, Reps Football, for believing in our son and making this unforgettable experience possible. We highly recommend Reps to any young player looking to develop and challenge themselves."

My son and I have had a fantastic experience with REPs Football. We were honoured to be part of the squad representing England at the 2025 Gothia Cup in Sweden, an unforgettable opportunity.
The coaches not only demonstrated top-tier football knowledge, but they also showed genuine care and commitment to nurturing each player’s potential.
It was inspiring to see how much attention was given to personal development, team bonding, and sportsmanship. The staff created a supportive, encouraging environment where young players thrived on and off the pitch.
REPs create a supportive, high-quality environment where talent is nurtured and character is built. Highly recommended!

What a great first experience to the Gothia cup for my son who went with Reps Football. A well organised trip and plenty of football for a football obsessed boy! Friendly coaches and staff made it a fun time for all the group with just the right amount of discipline to keep the boys in line! Thank you to Lee and the team for creating memories to treasure.
- Helen R
My children age 11 & 12 had the most experience with Reps Football. They’ve come back from the Gothia tournament with amazing memories, friends and it was great to see how huge their smiles were on and off the pitch. All the staff were attentive and dedicated to making sure the kids had fun. They can’t wait for their next Reps Football experience! Absolutely recommend.
