Tournament Structure
Every age group begins with a group stage, where teams play multiple matches to earn points. All teams move into elimination play—nobody goes home early.
Cup Competition:
Top two teams in each group advance to the Cup semifinals and compete for 1st–4th place through knockout games (Semis → 3rd/4th Playoff → World Cup Final).
Plate Competition:
Third and fourth-placed teams enter the Plate bracket, also competing for 1st–4th place through knockouts (Semis → 3rd/4th Playoff → World Plate Final).
Every team gets meaningful games, a proper competitive runway, and their medal moment at the end.
It’s soccer above the city—fast, loud, creative, and powered by a community that loves the game.
