22 Ilinois teams will represent the “Land Of Lincoln” and look to take the next step towards earning a US Youth Soccer National Presidents Cup title when they compete at the 2025 USYS Midwest Presidents Cup in St Louis. Play kicks-off Friday, June 13, and for those that survive and advance, they will compete for the Regional Championship on Tuesday.
