Cardiff City's 2014 age group made a strong impression in the Soest tournament, competing against top teams in the Netherlands. The side were drawn in a group to face hosts SO Soest, Royal Antwerp and FC Utrecht, and secured their place in the knockout stages with victories against Royal Antwerp and SO Soest. However, they were defeated by FC Utrecht in the final group match. In the quarter-finals, they faced AZ Alkmaar, but were unable to progress to the next stage. Despite the defeat, the experience of competitive football in a tournament environment will be valuable for the squad as they continue their journeys in the Academy.
