El Clásico – San Antonio TX, an exciting new academy tournament designed to bring top-tier academy pre-season competition to the region. Set for this Summer 2025, the collaboration allows local UPSL clubs to take part in a high-quality preseason youth tournament and provide a new platform for academy teams in and around Texas to test themselves ahead of the Fall season. The tournament age groups will include U13 teams all the way up to U19. 

Set in the vibrant city of San Antonio, the event allows the UPSL and SPG to provide more than just a tournament, but also serve as a local community event, bringing together players, families, and fans. With vendors like Prime Hydration and many more, partnering with SPG allows the UPSL to offer an experience both on and off the field. 

“The UPSL is thrilled to bring an academy tournament of this caliber to San Antonio,” said UPSL Academy Director Joseph Janner “Partnering with Sports Partners Global, known for their professionalism and attention to detail, ensures that El Clásico – San Antonio TX will be a first-class event for youth players, coaches, and fans alike. It’s also a major step forward in providing UPSL clubs with an elevated preseason experience and more year-round soccer.”
