Record-Breaking Return
The USA Cup, widely recognized as the nation’s largest youth soccer tournament, is back for its 41st edition, drawing unprecedented attention from coaches, parents and players alike.
This year’s field includes over 1,150 teams hailing from 26 different states and 13 foreign nations, spanning age groups from under-8 to under-19.
The competition is structured around two distinct events: a weekend showcase that runs Friday through Sunday, followed by a week-long tournament that begins next Tuesday and culminates on July 18th.
All matches will be staged at the National Sports Center in Blaine, a facility that has become synonymous with high-level youth soccer in the Midwest.
Adding a personal touch to the coverage, veteran analyst John Jacobson will sit down with USA Cup’s own Sara Soli to discuss storylines, standout prospects and the tournament’s evolving format.
