FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Revolution Academy's Under-16s and Under-15s competed in the 2026 Generation adidas Cup at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. from March 27 - April 3. New England was one of 88 teams playing in the annual international youth tournament, joining teams from 14 countries across four continents.

Headlining the tournament was New England's U-16s, having gone undefeated in Group G to advance to the Championship Bracket for the first time in the Revolution Academy's history. Forward Matthew Jean Baptiste (2010 - Montvale, N.J.) delivered a standout performance in the tournament, scoring three goals, while also distributing one assist across five games.

The U-16s opened the tournament with a 2-1 victory over Columbus Crew. The following day, New England fought to a 0-0 draw against Inter Miami, securing a 5-3 win in the ensuing penalty shootout. In the final contest of group play, the Revolution earned a 2-1 triumph over Club América to advance to the Championship Bracket.

The Revolution's U-16s carried momentum into the Round of 16, with New England edging out Orlando City SC, 1-0. However, their tournament run came to an end in the quarterfinals, after drawing 1-1 to Seattle Sounders FC, and falling in the penalty shootout, 5-3. The U-16s closed out their GA Cup run in the Showcase Bracket with a 1-0 defeat to Real Salt Lake.

Also in GA Cup action, the U-15s recorded a 1-1-1 mark in Group C. New England fought to a 1-1 draw in its first game against Austin FC, clinching a 5-4 win in the ensuing penalty shootout, followed by a 2-1 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC. However, the U-15s then fell to Cedar Stars Academy Bergen, 2-1. In the Showcase Bracket, New England captured a 2-1 win over the Colorado Rapids. To conclude their 2026 GA Cup run, the U-16s battled Sporting Kansas City to a 1-1 draw, losing 5-4 in penalties.

The Revolution's U-14s and U-13s both continued their respective MLS NEXT spring campaigns with wins over BW Gottschee last Saturday. Midfielder Marlon Quijada (2012 - Ashland, Mass.) scored the lone goal in the 44th minute to seal a 1-0 victory for the U-14s. The U-13s claimed a 2-0 win over BW Gottschee, with Oliver Conlon (2013 - Boston, Mass.) getting on the scoresheet in the 59th minute and Amare Laurent (2014 - Windsor, Conn.) rounding out the scoring just six minutes later.

The Revolution Academy's U-18s, U-16s, and U-15s are off this weekend, while the U-14s and U-13s will host Bayside FC at the Revolution Training Center on Saturday. Click here to learn more about the New England Revolution Academy.
