Namibia's Julinho Athletic U-15 boys returned home from Europe after a spirited performance at both the Gothia and Dana Cups.

Competing among 124 teams at the prestigious Gothia Cup in Sweden, the Julinho Athletic U-17 boys impressed with their skills and teamwork before traveling to Denmark for the Dana Cup youth tournament.

In both competitions, the team reached the Round of 16, where they narrowly lost to strong international opponents.

At the Dana Cup in Denmark, the Namibian side bowed out after a closely contested 1-0 loss from a penalty.

Despite the early exits, the boys were warmly welcomed by parents, friends, and supporters at Hosea Kutako International Airport, who celebrated their efforts and dedication with cheers and national pride.

Though they did not win either tournament, the Julinho boys were celebrated for their talent, determination, and for raising the Namibian flag high among some of Europe's best youth football teams.
