The Ormond Beach City Commission honored the Ormond Beach Soccer Club on Sept. 3 for representing the city at the IberCup international youth soccer tournament in Portugal earlier this summer.
The Ormond Beach Soccer Club, through its partnership with Future Captain Sports, joined a USA group with soccer clubs from Jacksonville, Philadelphia and Los Angelis to compete in the tournament in Lisbon and Estoril, Portugal.
Twenty-two Ormond Beach Soccer Club players participated in the tournament joining other USA players on the girls and boys 2015 (year of birth) teams and 2013, 2011, 2010 and 2009 boys teams.
The players also got to train at the SL Benfica Academy and do some sightseeing, said Dylan Reed, the Ormond Beach Soccer Club’s director of coaches.
The boys 2013 American team with OBSC players won its division, beating a team from London in the final.
The tournament included over 500 teams from 50 countries, including South Africa, Portugal, the United States, Britain, Brazil, Spain, Egypt and the Philippines, Reed said.
Next summer, the club is planning a trip to Barcelona, Spain, Reed said.
“I think it’s important to give the players a view of soccer from around the world,” he said.
The Ormond Beach Soccer Club’s boys 2012 team (age 13), won its division at the Jacksonville FC Labor Day Shootout on Aug. 29-31.
The club’s boys 2015 team also made the final in its division.
