The 35th annual USA CUP soccer tournament will be held at the National Sports Center in Blaine, Minnesota, July 12-20, 2019.

Last year’s tournament welcomed 1,150 teams – third largest in the tournament’s 34 years – representing 20 countries and 20 states, and close to 1,200 teams are expected.

The tournament is unique as the only tournament of its size in the world that holds all its games on a single contiguous campus. It’s also known for its ambitious program of off-the-field activities that include an Olympic-style opening ceremony, daily video features, live webcasting of selected games, social and educational activities for the players and their families, and tours to major Twin Cities tourist destinations. This year, the tournament headquarters and all the major activities will move into a new indoor space inside the Centerview Elementary School, which is located right on the National Sports Center campus. That’s where the popular SPI Pin Trading Zone will be located, along with the tournament Super Store, and other cool activities.

Throughout the week, USA CUP players will have the chance to meet MLS players from Minnesota United FC, and even attend a home game at MNUFC’s stunning new stadium, Allianz Field.
