HIGHLIGHTS! | City beat United to lift 2026 FA Youth Cup trophy! | Man City U18 2-1 Man United U18

Manchester City Under-18s have won the 2026 FA Cup after a 2-1 win over Manchester United at the Joie Stadium.

It is the fifth occasion in which City have won the prestigious youth competition following our triumphs in 1986, 2008, 2020 and 2024.

The first was the first-ever all-Manchester final and 40 years on, the latest clash with our cross-city rivals also ended with the young Blues lifting the trophy in front of a sold-out Joie Stadium crowd.

Commenting on the outstanding achievement, Academy Director Thomas Kruecken was full of praise, pride and appreciation for the way in which the squad and staff secured a second piece of silverware this term.

“Winning the FA Youth Cup is always a key target for us at the start of each season, so to see the team lift the trophy is a momentous occasion and an achievement everyone in the Academy should be immensely proud of.
