The second edition of the London Ladies Cup U16 is officially fully booked, and the 2026 line-up speaks for itself. With FC Bayern München, Chelsea FC, Arsenal FC, Olympique Lyonnais and several other elite international teams confirmed, the tournament could hardly have a stronger field for its second edition.
Taking place from 14–16 August 2026 at the prestigious Epsom College near London, the London Ladies Cup continues to establish itself as one of the most exciting and high-level events in European girls’ football.
Following a hugely successful inaugural edition, interest in the tournament grew rapidly throughout the registration period. Clubs from across Europe showed strong enthusiasm for the event, attracted by the combination of elite competition, professional organisation and world-class facilities. As a result, all 12 team spots for the 2026 edition have now been secured well ahead of the tournament weekend.
Elite International Football Returns to London
The London Ladies Cup was created with one clear ambition: to provide U16 girls’ teams with an elite international football experience in a professional environment. In only its second year, the tournament has already earned a strong reputation among top academies and leading clubs across Europe.
This year’s edition underlines that growth. With FC Bayern München, Chelsea FC, Arsenal FC and Olympique Lyonnais among the confirmed teams, the tournament brings together some of the biggest names in European women’s football.
Combined with several other elite international teams, the 2026 field promises three days of intense, high-level football where players can challenge themselves against some of the strongest opposition in Europe.
A Prestigious Venue at Epsom College
All matches will take place at Epsom College, a venue known for its outstanding sporting infrastructure and professional environment. Located just outside London, Epsom College offers high-quality football pitches and excellent on-site facilities, making it the ideal setting for elite youth competition.
Participating teams and staff will stay directly on campus, creating a true tournament atmosphere where players, coaches and clubs remain fully immersed in the event throughout the weekend. Supporters and accompanying family members will stay in carefully selected hotels in the surrounding area.
The combination of accommodation, facilities and tournament logistics ensures a seamless and high-level experience for all participants.
