Stella Calderhead leads a clinical young side into a high stakes showdown against Leicester City this Sunday.

The future of the famous North London institution looks incredibly bright following a phenomenal run in the Professional Game Academy Plate. The Tottenham Hotspur Women’s Under 16s have officially secured their spot in a highly anticipated final this coming Sunday, March 22, 2026. This is the first time the specific age group has reached the showpiece event of this prestigious competition.

The match represents a massive opportunity for these talented youngsters to bring more silverware back to the club’s trophy cabinet. Supporters are being encouraged to travel down to Wheatsheaf Park in Staines to witness the next generation of stars in action. Kickoff is scheduled for eleven o’clock, and for everyone wanting to show their support, admission is completely free.

Stella Calderhead has managed her roster with incredible precision throughout this testing campaign. The tactical discipline shown by the squad has been absolutely clinical for their opponents to break down. The young Lilywhites booked their place in the final after a dominant two-goal victory over Newcastle United last month. The semi-final success followed a high-pressure quarter-final triumph against Bristol City, which required a nerve-shredding penalty shootout to decide the winner.

The young Lilywhites previously lifted the PGA Champions Trophy last term after a brilliant display against Blackburn Rovers, the group clearly possesses a winning mentality. The tactician at the helm expects another brilliant performance against Leicester City to ensure the trophy returns to North London. Seeing the academy prospects thrive provides a vital mental boost for the entire organisation during a difficult period for the senior ranks. While the first team battles through a severe injury crisis, the youth setup continues to produce phenomenal results on the pitch.

Fans can expect an aggressive and fast paced contest in Staines as these teenagers look to make their mark on the professional game. This showpiece event is more than just a match for the youngsters because it serves as a massive platform to prove their worth. Securing silverware in back to back seasons would be a stunning achievement. The future certainly belongs to these determined young athletes.
