Arsenal duo called up for England youth tournament

Arsenal duo Luis Munoz and Jaden Maghoma have been called up by the England u15s for an international tournament later this month.

England have confirmed their call-ups for an u15 camp later this month, with the team set to compete in a mini-tournament beginning with a group stage involving Japan, Brazil, and hosts Croatia.

The team will then play either South Korea, Switzerland, the USA, or Portugal, depending on their group finish. If England top their group, they’ll play the best team in the other group to see who wins the tournament.

Arsenal duo Luis Munoz and Jaden Maghoma have both been included in the squad, with both having debuted for the England u15s in late 2025.

England will face Japan on Tuesday, May 19th, Brazil on Wednesday, May 20th, and Croatia on Friday, May 22nd. The team will then play their final match on Sunday, May 24th, completing the week-long tournament.

Munoz and Maghoma have made milestone appearances for the Arsenal academy this season, with 14-year-old Munoz debuting for the u19s in the UEFA Youth League, and for the u18s in the u18 Premier League (scoring off the bench against Fulham).

15-year-old Maghoma also made his u19 debut in the Youth League, and more recently the pair won the Next Gen Cup in Beijing with the Arsenal u15s.

Both players scored in the group stage of the cup competition, with Maghoma also netting in the final.

The talented Arsenal duo look set for plenty more appearances in u18 football and beyond over the coming seasons, but for the time being they’ll keep playing for the England u15s.

Munoz scored in his last appearance for the side against Cyprus, whilst Maghoma netted a brace on his debut for the team in December against Iceland.
