United, Arsenal and Chelsea will be taking part in a new international youth tournament called the Champions Youth Cup this summer in Malaysia, which brings together some of the world's finest football teams. G-14, a group of European football's top clubs, is supporting the new competition from 5-19 August, which will see a Reds Under-19s side pitted against teams like AC Milan, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Juventus, Arsenal and Chelsea. Four groups of four teams will play round robin matches in Alor Setar, Kuantan Melaka and Kuching with the knockout stages held in Kuala Lumpur and the final at the National Stadium in Malaysia's capital on Sunday 19 August. G-14 General Manager, Thomas Kurth, said that his organisation, which includes 12 of the participating clubs, fully endorsed the tournament. "This was inspired by the clubs themselves who want international competition to develop their young talents and showcase them to the world. "They also want to give something back to the communities that support them in recognition of the passion that fans in Malaysia and across Asia have for them. We hope that this tournament will act as an inspiration for football in Malaysia." The full list of confirmed teams is as follows: AC Milan, Ajax, Arsenal, Boca Juniors, Chelsea, CR Flamengo, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Porto, Internazionale, Juventus, Manchester United, Paris Saint Germain, PSV Eindhoven, with national youth teams from Qatar and Malaysia. The draw for this year's tournament will take place in Malaysia on 19 April. For more information, visit the official website: CYC Tournament - Malaysia 2007.
Arsenal got a good chance. We got some quality U-19 players. Vito Mannone Fran Merida Gavin.Hoyte (Justin's Brother) Ryan Garry and many more. I think with Mannone (Italy's next Goalie) and Merida (the next Fabregas) i reckon we got a good chance.

Its not a G14 tournament but it is endorsed by them. The reason Chelsea are in it is because they are as invitees and all the rest are big clubs.
