The Caledonian Braves Win the FENIX Trophy

An Unforgettable European Journey for the Caledonian Braves Football Club, the First Team of Edusport Academy!

It all began on January 7, with Round 1 of the FENIX Trophy the starting point of an intense European adventure.
The Braves then flew to Hamburg, before making history with their very first appearance in Paris on March 31. Between moments of relaxation and cultural visits, the team fully embraced their time in the French capital before continuing their quest for greatness.

On April 1, the Braves faced FK Miljakovac (Serbia) in the quarterfinals.

A clear victory: 3–0! A masterful performance, despite a serious injury to an opposing player in the 65th minute, to whom we send our heartfelt wishes for a speedy recovery.

This win secured the Braves a spot in the FENIX Trophy Final Four in Italy — a major milestone in the club’s history.

And history was made...

Last weekend, the Braves were crowned European champions after a hard-fought final against FC United of Manchester, concluding a remarkable journey through Hamburg, Paris, and Milan.

This is a historic first for a Scottish club and a moment of immense pride for the entire Braves community.

A Club Like No Other

Founded in 2011 as Edusport Academy, the club made headlines in 2017 by becoming the first Scottish team to be promoted from the very bottom of the football pyramid. In 2019, it officially became the Caledonian Braves, with a bold vision: to build a unique European football project rooted in development, openness, and innovation.

This FENIX Trophy victory is more than just a title it's the result of exceptional teamwork, led by the players, coaching staff, volunteers, supporters, and club owners.

A huge thank you to Christopher Ewing and the entire academy team for organizing this incredible journey.

Congratulations to Ricky Waddell, his staff, and, of course, the players for an outstanding campaign.

Go Braves — and bring on the next challenge!
