OVERVIEW

The US Youth Soccer Minnesota State Cup is a tournament designed to select the Minnesota league team or Midwest Regional team at each age level and gender to represent Minnesota at the US Youth Soccer Midwest Regional Championships. Regional winners will go on to compete in the US Youth Soccer National Championships.

Note: Division I teams are encouraged to register for either State Cup or Presidents Cup and Division II and III teams to register for Presidents Cup. This general guideline is used throughout the nation to ensure the integrity and competitiveness of each event remains intact. 

Teams have the option to enter either the Minnesota State Cup or Presidents Cup but may NOT enter both.
