West Ham United were crowned U18 Premier League Cup champions 2024/25 following a 2-1 victory over Reading at Select Car Leasing Stadium on Tuesday evening.
This win comes only two years since the young Hammers in 2022/23 won the FA Youth Cup by defeating Arsenal 5-1 in the final at Emirates Stadium. The same season Kevin Keen’s U18 were also champions of the Premier League South Division.
What a wonderful achievement for the young Irons. West Ham United U18s lead coach Lauris Coggin hailed the Academy of Football values shown by his young players who made history again by lifting the Premier League Cup in 2025 for the first time:
“It means so much,” he reflected. “I’ve seen a lot of their journey. Not just us as staff and players, but the whole Academy, to win it at the end of a long competition is a fantastic feeling for everyone.”
