A weekend of competition and community
Games are being staged at three major soccer complexes in Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo, giving families and fans a chance to experience high‑level competition in familiar venues.
Participants hail from North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin, underscoring the tournament’s regional reach and the growing popularity of youth soccer in the Midwest.
Organizers estimate that the influx of teams, coaches and spectators will generate upwards of $2 million in economic activity for the area, supporting local businesses and hospitality services.
