The 2024–25 academic year will be remembered as a standout season for the BISP Cruzeiro Football Academy. With months of dedicated planning, purposeful training and top-level competition, this year brought exceptional growth, impressive team results and inspiring individual milestones across all levels of the programme.
A thriving academy for all ages
A total of 343 students, aged 3 to 18, took part in the various programmes offered by the BISP Cruzeiro Academy. Guided by a team of seven experienced Brazilian coaches, players developed their football skills in line with their individual goals and aspirations. Whether stepping onto the pitch for the first time or aiming for a professional career, every student was supported in a structured, challenging and nurturing environment.
Strong performances and international competition
This year saw BISP teams competing and succeeding at the highest levels of school and youth football. Highlights included a top-three finish at the Ari Cup, a prestigious seven-a-side tournament featuring 32 of Thailand’s best youth clubs, and a strong showing at the Asiana Cup in Indonesia, where BISP faced elite academy teams such as Johor (Malaysia), Lion City (Singapore) and Cerezo Osaka (Japan). The BISP Soccer 7s once again delivered fantastic results, with BISP teams earning three first-place and three second-place finishes.
Hosting excellence at home
Throughout the year, BISP hosted six major football events on campus, welcoming visiting teams from across the region and providing valuable match experience for players of all ages. These events helped strengthen connections with other schools and academies while showcasing the professionalism of the BISP Cruzeiro coaching and operations team.
Inspiring individual achievements
The year also saw individual players reach remarkable milestones. One student began playing professionally in Thailand’s League 2 at just 17 years old, while another earned a call-up to their national team. It was a proud moment for the player and a testament to the academy’s high-performance environment.
The accomplishments of 2024–25 have solidified BISP Cruzeiro Academy as the leading football academy among international schools in Asia and one of the top development environments in Thailand.
