Colombo Kickerz Football Academy is set to create history as their Girls Under-14 team left to Malaysia in order to compete in the prestigious KL Cup 2026, marking the academy’s first-ever all-girls international football campaign.
They will take part in the tournament on 2 and 3 May in Kuala Lumpur, where they will face strong international opposition and gain valuable overseas exposure. This milestone reflects Colombo Kickerz’s growing commitment to developing girls’ football and expanding opportunities for young female players to compete at a higher level.
Having already built a strong reputation through previous KL Cup appearances, the academy continues to focus on nurturing talent and providing players with competitive international experience. The Under-14 girls have undergone intensive training sessions, with coaches placing strong emphasis on technical skills, teamwork, discipline, and match preparedness ahead of the tournament.
The KL Cup is known for its highly competitive environment and diverse participation, making it an ideal platform for the girls to test themselves and showcase their abilities on a bigger stage. This historic participation is not only a proud moment for Colombo Kickerz but also a major step forward for girls’ football in Sri Lanka, inspiring the next generation to dream bigger and aim for international success.
