Valkenswaard United

Valkenswaard United return for 2026 as one of the most established and respected forces in the GCL. Synonymous with experience, precision and championship pedigree, the team once again fields a line-up built to contend from the very first stage.

At the core of the squad is Belgian star Gilles Thomas, whose consistency and composure continue to make him one of the league’s most reliable performers. He is joined by German legend Marcus Ehning and fellow countryman Hans-Dieter Dreher, two seasoned competitors whose tactical intelligence and ability to deliver under pressure provide invaluable strength to the roster.

Italy’s Lorenzo De Luca adds sharpness and fighting spirit, while two-time LGCT Champion Edwina Tops-Alexander brings leadership, experience and a proven winning mentality. Completing the team is exciting U25 talent Thibault Philippaerts, injecting youthful ambition and fresh momentum into an already formidable line-up.

Blending world-class experience with rising talent, Valkenswaard United enter the 2026 season focused, fearless and ready to challenge for top honours once again.
