Colombo Kickerz Football Academy announced today the return of the highly anticipated Juventus Training Camp Colombo, which will take place from 6th to 10th July 2026 at the CR & FC Grounds, Colombo.
Following the successful inaugural edition in 2025, the camp returns for a second consecutive year, providing young footballers in Sri Lanka with a unique opportunity to train under the guidance of official Juventus Academy coaches from Italy.
The five-day camp will see approximately 50 young footballers from across the country participate in an intensive programme based on the renowned Juventus methodology, focusing on technical development, tactical understanding, teamwork, discipline, and personal growth.
In a move aimed at enhancing the overall player experience, Colombo Kickerz has intentionally limited participation at this year’s camp to just 50 players. This reduced number will allow the coaches to provide greater individual attention and deliver a more intensive, high-quality training experience. By maintaining smaller training groups, participants will benefit from increased interaction with the official Juventus Academy coaches, ensuring that each player maximises their learning and development throughout the five-day programme.

The camp will be conducted by two official Juventus Academy coaches from Italy, supported by the experienced coaching staff of Colombo Kickerz. Participants will be grouped according to age and ability to ensure an optimal learning environment and maximum individual attention.
Speaking on the upcoming camp, Romario De Silva, CEO of Colombo Kickerz Football Academy, said:
“It is a tremendous honour for Colombo Kickerz to once again bring the Juventus Academy experience to Sri Lanka. Our objective has always been to provide young footballers with access to world-class coaching and international development opportunities. The return of the camp is a testament to the success of last year’s programme and the growing passion for football development in Sri Lanka.”
Over the past decade, Colombo Kickerz has established itself as one of Sri Lanka’s leading youth football academies, consistently creating opportunities for young players through local and international partnerships, overseas tours, and elite training experiences.
The Juventus Training Camp Colombo 2026 is made possible through the valued support of several key partners. Hilton Colombo Residences has joined as the Hospitality Partner, while Aitken Spence Travels has come on board as the Travel Partner. ThePapare will once again serve as the Digital Media Partner, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the event.
The camp represents a significant step forward in youth football development in Sri Lanka and reinforces Colombo Kickerz’ commitment to nurturing the next generation of football talent.
With just days remaining until kick-off, excitement continues to build as players prepare to experience what it truly means to train “The Juventus Way.”
