🏆 CHAMPIONS! 🏆
An incredible finish. An unforgettable championship.
Congratulations to our Valencia CF – Seattle B U16 team on an incredible championship victory over Nido Águila at the River Jam tournament this weekend.
In a match that demanded grit, resilience, and belief from start to finish, our boys refused to give in. Trailing late in the game, they delivered when it mattered most—finding the equalizer on a perfectly executed set piece with just 60 seconds remaining, sending the championship to a penalty shootout.
When the pressure was at its highest, our players stepped up. Our Valencia CF – Seattle goalkeeper came up with a huge save, blocking one of Nido Águila's penalty kicks, giving the team the momentum they needed before our shooters calmly converted to secure the title.
From the final minute of regulation to the final penalty, this team showed tremendous character, composure, and togetherness. They never stopped believing, and their determination was rewarded with a championship performance they'll never forget.
Congratulations to our players, coaches, and families on an outstanding achievement. This is what resilience looks like!
