Borussia Academy Indonesia Makes Strong Impression at Bali 7s International Tournament

Borussia Academy Indonesia proudly announces its enthusiastic participation and strong performance at the Bali 7s International Tournament 2025, held at the Bali United Training Center in Gianyar, Bali, from April 16 to 20. This tournament, one of Southeast Asia’s most exciting youth football events, provided a stage for young athletes to engage in high-level competition, develop their skills, and build meaningful connections through sport.

The Bali 7s Tournament brought together youth football teams from across Indonesia, Asia-Pacific, and beyond, creating a vibrant and multicultural football environment. The event was more than a series of matches—it was a celebration of youth development, unity, and the global power of football to bring people together.

As an academy committed to nurturing future football stars with discipline, technical excellence, and character, Borussia Academy Indonesia was honored to be part of this important event. Our participation in the tournament reflects our broader mission to provide international exposure and holistic development opportunities to our athletes.

“The Bali 7s International Tournament was a fantastic experience for our academy and our young athletes. We are deeply grateful to the organizers for hosting such a well-run event that emphasizes learning, growth, and sportsmanship,” said the CEO of Borussia Academy Indonesia. “Our players gave their best on the field, competed with heart and discipline, and represented our academy and Indonesia with pride.”
This year, Borussia Academy Indonesia fielded six teams across multiple age categories: two teams in U10, one team in U12, two teams in U14, and one team in U16. Each team brought energy, discipline, and passion to the field, reflecting the academy’s commitment to holistic football development and character building.

Building Experience, Character, and Confidence
For Borussia Academy Indonesia, tournaments like Bali 7s are integral to player development. Competing with international teams challenges our players to adapt, think strategically, and handle high-pressure situations with maturity. Throughout the tournament, our athletes demonstrated excellent teamwork, tactical awareness, and resilience—core values we instill in all our training programs.

The tournament structure included multiple age categories, with teams playing a series of matches over five days. Each game presented opportunities for growth, reflection, and learning. Coaches and players analyzed their performance after every match, emphasizing continuous improvement over mere results.
More than just football, the tournament also fostered cultural exchange, team bonding, and personal growth. Players met peers from different countries, learned to appreciate diverse playing styles, and experienced the spirit of unity through sport.

Excellence in Organization and Hospitality
Borussia Academy Indonesia wishes to extend its sincere appreciation to the Bali United Training Center and the Bali 7s organizing committee for hosting a truly world-class event. The tournament was managed with professionalism and care, ensuring that all participating teams had access to excellent facilities, fair officiating, medical support, and logistical assistance throughout the week.

The Bali United Training Center in Gianyar offered top-tier pitches, comfortable team facilities, and a safe environment for all players. The hospitality and warm welcome from the local community made the experience even more memorable for our traveling team and supporters.

“Everything from the matchday arrangements to the off-field experience was handled exceptionally well,” noted a member of the Borussia Academy coaching staff. “It allowed us to focus entirely on player development, and for the players, it felt like being part of a professional football environment.”
