“Pride, professionalism, and class” – Shayne Griffin reflects on April’s Iber Cup success

April 27, 2026

Scrosoppi put Milton on the international map by fending off top youth sides to win a U15 boys title in Portugal. 

Written by Shayne Griffin


Scrosoppi FC's boys U14 and U15 teams travelled to Cascais, Portugal to compete in the prestigious IberCup, one of the world’s largest international youth football tournaments. The IberCup attracts top academies and clubs from across the globe, providing young athletes with the opportunity to compete at a high level while representing their communities on an international stage.


The Scrosoppi FC U14 side put forth an excellent showing, advancing to the semifinals in their tournament before being narrowly eliminated. Their performance demonstrated strong technical ability and determination against quality international opposition.


The highlight of the trip, however, came from the U15 team, who delivered an outstanding tournament performance to be crowned IberCup Champions. Over the course of six hard-fought matches, the team showcased exceptional talent, resilience, and composure.


Their journey to the title included impressive victories over GS Carcavelos, Central 32, and Academia Alcoitão in the knockout stages, culminating in a dominant 3-0 championship-winning performance in the final.



Throughout the competition, the players represented both Scrosoppi FC and our local Milton community with pride, professionalism, and class. Their success is a testament not only to their hard work and dedication, but also to the strength of grassroots soccer development within our Milton region.


This achievement marks a significant milestone for the club and highlights the growing impact of Canadian youth soccer on the international stage.
