Illinois teams took home three National titles (2 US Youth Soccer National Championships & 1 US Youth Soccer National Presidents Cup) in 2025 and the quest for a National Championship is set to start all over again this Fall with State Cup & Presidents Cup
Illinois State Cup
The Illinois State Cup is the most prestigious tournament in Illinois and the official state championship tournament of the US Youth Soccer National Championship Series. Starting in Fall 2025, State champions advance to the reformatted US Youth Soccer National Championships. The Fall Illinois State Cup is run for 15-19U Girls. 13U-14U Girls and 13U-19U Boys play in the Spring. Click here for more details.
Illinois President Cup
This national tournament provides Illinois Youth Soccer teams an alternative to the Illinois State Cup and an opportunity to advance to a US Youth Soccer Regional event and compete against teams from across the country in a Regional and National competition. Think of it as the Europa League and the State Cup is the Champions League. The Illinois Presidents Cup follows a very similar format to the State Cup. The Fall Illinois Presidents Cup is run for 15-19U Girls. 13U-14U Girls and 13U-19U Boys play in the Spring. Click here for more details.
