🏆 2026 U16 PLAYER OF THE SEASON — ADHAR YAAC Project 11 Football Academy 🏆

👉 Swipe through to discover Adhar’s journey and the player behind an unforgettable 2026 season.

An incredible season. Years in the making!💫⚽

👏Congratulations to Adhar Yaac of Project 11, crowned the U16 Player of the Season following a phenomenal campaign in the inaugural 2026 IFA Youth League.

✨ Adhar accumulated an outstanding 29 Player of the Season points across the regular season, while an incredible 27 goals also saw him finish as the U16 competition’s leading goalscorer. 🔥

A towering presence with explosive athleticism, remarkable speed and exceptional technical quality, Adhar proved an incredibly difficult proposition for opposition defences throughout the season. Powerful with space to attack, deceptively agile in tight areas and lethal in front of goal, his ability to change a game in an instant made him one of the competition’s standout performers.

But behind the performances is a development journey that began long before 2026.

⏪ Adhar joined Project 11 at just nine years old in 2018, beginning what has now become an eight-year journey under Academy Director and coach Omar Hawchar and the Project 11 coaching team. Through the years, that environment has continually challenged him to learn, compete, mature and add new dimensions to his game — developing not only his footballing ability, but the discipline, responsibility and character behind the player.

📈 Along the way, Adhar’s football has taken him into representative programs and elite playing environments, but the guidance and support of Project 11 has remained a constant throughout his journey.

🚀 From humble beginnings in his development journey to the 2026 U16 Player of the Season — this is a story of talent nurtured, potential developed and years of work coming together!💛

Congratulations, Adhar — your 2026 IFA Youth League U16 Player of the Season! 👏🏆

A journey years in the making!⚡️

Congratulations to Xavi Nedelkovski of Spark Futbol City, crowned the U14 Player of the Season following an outstanding campaign in the inaugural 2026 IFA Youth League.

Across the regular season, Xavi accumulated an incredible 36 Player of the Season points while also finding the back of the net 31 times to finish as the competition’s leading goalscorer!🔥

But the numbers tell only part of the story…

Joining Spark Futbol at just seven years old in 2020, Xavi’s performances today are the product of years spent learning, developing and refining his game. From building his technical foundations and football intelligence to becoming a captain and leader, his progression is a testament to the value of patience, consistency and a genuine long-term commitment to player development.

Under the guidance of Academy Director Cam Jones and the Spark Futbol coaching team, Xavi has developed into a technically gifted, tactically intelligent and incredibly exciting young footballer — while continuing to set the standard through his attitude, work ethic and commitment to his teammates.

Seven years. Countless hours. One incredible journey and plenty still to come!💫
