Sporting Director Claudio Reyna reflected on an “exciting and proud day” for New York City FC as the Club won its first piece of silverware.
NYCFC U16s lifted the Generation adidas Cup Premier Division trophy in Frisco, Texas on Saturday evening, defeating Tigres 1-0 in the final.
For Reyna, it’s an achievement which speaks volumes for the work that’s been undertaken at Academy level in just under two years.
He told NYCFC.com: “It was a really special day - besides winning, just as rewarding is to hear compliments from the footballing community on how we played, the composure we showed on the field during all the games and the observations that we play with a similar style to our first-team.
