This study aims to analyze the relationship between self-confidence and competition anxiety among athletes at Darul Amanah Football Academy U-14. In competitive sports, psychological factors play a crucial role in determining performance outcomes, particularly self-confidence and anxiety. High self-confidence is believed to enhance athletes’ ability to cope with competitive pressure, whereas excessive anxiety may negatively affect performance quality. This research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The participants consisted of 29 U-14 athletes selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires measuring self-confidence (Sport Confidence Inventory) and competition anxiety (Sport Anxiety Scale-2). Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, normality tests (Shapiro–Wilk), and Pearson Product-Moment correlation with a significance level of 0.05. The results revealed a significant negative relationship between self-confidence and competition anxiety, with a correlation coefficient of r = -0.632 and a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). This indicates that higher levels of self-confidence are associated with lower levels of competition anxiety, while lower confidence tends to increase anxiety. In conclusion, self-confidence is a key psychological factor that helps athletes manage anxiety and maintain emotional stability during competition. Therefore, developing athletes’ psychological aspects particularly self-confidence should be a priority in training programs to support optimal performance in competitive settings.
