The Trials
Cristiano Ronaldo Football Campus (CRFC) in association with the Madeira Sports Agency (MSSA) have exclusively appointed Sportzplanet & PSM (Pacific Sports Management) to present the Cristiano Ronaldo Youth Football Trials in Australia 2023/24 and beyond.
The CRFC trials will be targeting junior football players across Australia. It will be our objective to find the very best junior football players in order to form a representative team to attend the Cristiano Football Campus tournament held in Cristiano Ronaldo's home town of Madeira Portugal. The tournament has been held over many years and this is the first time teams from Australia have been offered the opportunity to compete.
For those lucky enough to be invited, this will be an all expenses paid trip.
In Portugal, attending will be some of the biggest football clubs from around the world along with leading football scouts. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to showcase your skills and talents.
The trials are open to all junior football players from the U11 and U13 age groups. A series of state trials will be held throughout Australia in 2023, culminating with the national selection trials, where all those selected from the state trials will be invited to attend in order to win selection to attend the global tournament in Portugal.
All trials will follow the CRFC format, rules and regulations. The final selection of the players to travel to Portugal will be in the hands of the selectors from the Cristiano Ronaldo Football Campus and Madeira Sports Agency.


We all started somewhere
Cristiano Ronaldo
Every person started somewhere and it was no different for Cristiano Ronaldo, born in Santo António, a neighbourhood of Funchal, Madeira.
He was the youngest child of Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, a cook, and José Dinis Aveiro, a municipal gardener. Yet although he grew up poor, he went on to become one of the greatest football players ever.
In Madeira, the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo is felt from the moment you arrive. The airport is named after him. A bust stands outside it. And a quarter of a century after leaving for Lisbon, he remains a source of inspiration for young footballers not only on the island but around the world.
What makes this tournament so unique, so special?
84 teams, 21+ countries, over 1200 athletes
The 'best of the best', this is where some of the biggest football clubs in the world compete, teams like Manchester United, Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, Porto, Sporting Lisbon, CD National, West Ham and many others. Attended by leading player scouts this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to showcase your skills and talents in front of the football world.
The Cristiano Ronaldo Football Campus Tournament is a FIFA approved and sanctioned tournament
