We're so excited to share that Hayden has been invited to participate in the Barça Academy Clinic ’25 to be held in Barcelona, Spain in December 2025!

Earlier this year, during the Easter school holidays, Hayden attended a Barça Academy Camp in Newcastle — a weeklong training program run by official FC Barcelona coaches. Throughout the camp, Barça Academy coaches selected players to have the opportunity to go to Barcelona and train in Barça Facilities, like professional players. They were using two criteria for this selection: football skills and FC Barcelona Values.

Hayden has been a passionate and hard-working football (soccer) player since he was 4, starting out joining Singleton community soccer when he was 5. Hayden has now been playing in the Northern NSW Football Junior Development League (JDL) since 2022 and this year is playing the U10s season with the Weston Bears Workers Football Club.

We’re so proud of Hayden. He's a hard-working player and this experience will give him the amazing opportunity of learning from the best coaches and having an experience of a lifetime in Barcelona at the football club.

We’d love to invite you along for the ride. Your support — whether it’s through a donation on this page, a message of support, or simply sharing this page with others — will help make this dream possible. Every contribution here goes directly towards Hayden’s travel, training, and accommodation expenses in Spain. He'll be buying his own churros!
