As our U15 Boys head home, we do so with full hearts and immense pride. This journey was about more than results — it was about growth, learning, and giving our young players the chance to experience football at a higher level. Every match, every moment, and every challenge contributed to memories and lessons they will carry with them for life.
To our players: you represented the Northern Mariana Islands with courage, humility, and heart. You faced tough opponents, adapted to new standards, and showed resilience every step of the way. The experience gained on this trip is invaluable — because experience is everything in opportunities like these, and it is what shapes stronger players and better people.
To the coaches and staff: thank you for your dedication, guidance, and belief in these boys. Your leadership on and off the field made this journey meaningful and successful.
To the families, supporters, and everyone cheering from back home: your messages, prayers, and encouragement were felt every day. You reminded our boys that they were never alone, no matter how far from home they were.
And a special thank you to EAFF for making this opportunity possible. Providing platforms like this allows young athletes to dream bigger, learn faster, and grow through real competition. We are deeply grateful for the chance to be part of this experience.
This trip may be ending, but the lessons learned will continue to guide these players forward. Welcome home, boys — we are so proud of you.
Si Yu’us Ma’åse & Let’s go NMI!
