Youth Soccer Success!

Congratulations to a couple of current and former Hamilton Croatia youth players.

First to Hamilton Croatia's Jaxon Williams on being chosen to represent Team North America at the 2025 Memorijal Vukovarskih Branitelja.

The 21st annual rendition of this international soccer tournament for U-14 boys will feature teams from Croatia's HNL clubs, as well as Croatia Diaspora squads from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and North America.

Jaxon was chosen from an elite group of athletes which included players from Ohio, New York, Florida, California, Alberta, Quebec, and Ontario. The tournament will be held in Vukovar, Croatia in April 2025.

Another special shout out goes to Kristian Cabraja, who just recently finished his 21-day trial with Hajduk Split.

Kristian previously played for our 2009 & 2010 Boys' teams before moving to the OPDL.

He also took part in two HNS Camps where he was singled out by the HNS technical staff, along with going to the Vukovar tournament twice.

During the trial he ranked second in overall speed and fitness among his peers while suiting up for Hajduk Split's U15 squad.

We wish both Jaxon and Kristian all the success in the world as they continue to pursue their dreams!
