Arsenal U17s share title with China U17 as tournament canceled

Arsenal's under-17 team has been declared joint champions of the 2026 Shanghai Future Star Cup, sharing the title with China U17 after the final was canceled due to Typhoon Dolphin. The tournament, originally set for August 3-9 in Shanghai, faced disruption as worsening weather led to the abandonment of the match, which was initially moved behind closed doors. Arsenal advanced to the final after displaying resilience following a dramatic opening loss to China, overcoming Bayer Leverkusen and Shanghai U17 in earlier knockout stages. The tournament also included academy teams from various clubs, with the women's competition scheduled for later this month.
