New England Revolution News Release


FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The Revolution Academy's Under-18, Under-16, and Under-15 teams begin play in the 2025 MLS NEXT Flex tournament at Maryland SoccerPlex from May 10-13. New England is one of 32 teams competing in each age group, having earned their qualification through points-per-game standings in the MLS NEXT regular season. The Revolution will kick off group play on Saturday, as all three teams look to secure their spots in the 2025 MLS NEXT Cup Playoffs.

The U-18s are set to take on St. Louis CITY SC, Barca Residency Academy, and Jacksonville FC in Group J play at MLS NEXT Flex. Last Saturday, Defender Aidan Reilly (2007 - Pembroke, Mass.) tallied the lone goal for New England against the New York Red Bulls, his second goal of the 2024-25 MLS NEXT season.

The U-16s will compete in Group B alongside Orlando City SC, ALBION SC Los Angeles, and Vancouver Whitecaps FC. New England's U-16s are coming off a 1-1 draw with the Red Bulls last weekend, with forward Josh Macedo (2009 - Santa Clarita, Calif.) netting the equalizer in the 83rd minute.

The U-15s will compete against Houston Dynamo FC, Miami Futbol Academy Rush, and Modesto Ajax United in Group F action. They enter the tournament on the back of a 4-0 shutout over the Boston Bolts last Saturday. Lucas Pereira (2010 - East Merrimack, N.H.) tallied twice, while Shifaq Fazl (2010 - Branford, Conn.) and Rikelme De Almeida (2011 - Easton, Mass.) also scored in the match.

New England's U-14s and U-13s were also in action last weekend, hosting the Boston Bolts at the Revolution Training Center in Foxborough. The U-14s earned a 4-0 victory, with Musah Adamu recording two goals and one assist. Arthur Bernardino (2011 - Shirley, Mass.) and Navayush Gurung (2011 - Medford, Mass.) each added a goal, while goalkeeper Charles Wallace (2010 - Burlington, Vt.) earned the shutout in net for New England.

The U-13s topped the Boston Bolts, 3-0, last weekend. Jayden Lefter (2012 - Milford, Mass.) and Luca Cicione (2012 - Warwick, R.I.) both found the scoresheet, while Gavin Rybak (2012 - Andover, Mass.) posted a goal-and-assist performance. Goalkeepers James Warren (2012 - Wellesley, Mass.) and Xavier Farone (2012 - Plainville, Conn.) split time between the posts to preserve the clean sheet.
