SPORTS EVENT PLANNING - JSSL INTERNATIONAL 7’S 2025
About this Werk
Asia’s largest youth football tournament returned with a bang as this year’s JSSL Singapore Professional Academy 7s became its biggest edition yet. A record 7,700 players from 550 registered teams participated in the April 17–20 event across seven venues in Singapore, with fierce competition in both the boys’ and girls’ Pro categories.
Defending champions Valencia CF returned to defend their crowns, but faced tough competition from 2022 champions Tottenham Hotspur and teams from around the world, including German giants Borussia Dortmund. The Finals took place on April 20 at HQ Arena in Woodleigh.
Besides players, coaches also had the chance to be involved in the action and learn from the best in the industry at the JSSL Coaching Convention. Held in conjunction with the tournament, the conference took place on April 16 at Holiday Inn Atrium Hotel. Guest-of-Honour and former Liverpool pro John Arne Riise shared his journey from Norway to Liverpool, with whom he won the Champions League title in 2005, and spoke about his coaching career at Norwegian top-flight women’s team Avaldsnes IL. World-class presentations were also given by top representatives of Borussia Dortmund, Wycombe Wanderers, and Tottenham Hotspur on coaching, club management, and player development.
In addition, this year saw the JSSL 7s games streamed live from all 27 pitches on the new JSSL 7s TV platform, providing teams and supporters from around the globe the opportunity to catch all the action.
