The Illinois Presidents Cup provides teams with a statewide championship experience and a pathway to regional and national competitions. Illinois Champions advance to the US Youth Soccer Regional Presidents Cup with hopes of eventually reaching the US Youth Soccer National Presidents Cup. If the State Cup is the UEFA Champions League, then the Presidents Cup is the Europa League, highly competitive and nationally respected in its own right. Illinois hosts one of the largest Presidents Cup events in the country, and since the competition launched in 2009, Illinois teams have established themselves as national contenders by capturing 73 regional Presidents Cup titles and 26 (and counting) National Presidents Cup championships.

Presidents Cup Fees:

• IYSA member teams (all players on roster registered to an IYSA member competitive league): $1150
• Non-IYSA member teams: $1550
