Cologne, Germany — Richmond United Boys Soccer recently returned from an inspiring and action-packed international tour through Germany, hosted by Navigo Sports Tours. The weeklong trip offered players the chance to sharpen their skills, face top-level competition, and dive into the rich soccer culture of Europe.

The team’s journey included training sessions and matches against elite German academy teams, including a competitive fixture with FC Köln Academy and an exciting 3-2 victory over FC Rheinsüd Köln. These experiences provided invaluable exposure to the intensity and style of European play.
