2021 Minnesota Cup, US Club Soccer State Cup

New for 2021!

This event is open to 11U-19U teams. There are two levels – “Super Group” (highest) & “Premier”. 13U+ teams advance as follows:

• Super Group Cup winners (13U+) earn automatic entry into US Club Soccer National Cup, entry fees funded by TCSL, held July 16-20, 2021 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, CO. This event only features qualified teams from select State Cups and mostly from US Club Soccer Regionals qualifiers.
• Premier group Cup winners (13U+) earn automatic entry into US Club Soccer Midwest Regionals, entry fees funded by TCSL, held June 18-21 in Illinois.

We have addressed feedback and moved the event off of Memorial Day weekend so as to not limit teams that may be able to enter!

NPL Teams: If your team wins Minnesota Cup and the NPL league, your team will attend the NPL Playoffs/Finals. You will also receive a $750 stipend to be used at your discretion for another event or to cover NPL Playoffs/Finals travel expenses.

Cup Format

• Teams will play group play matches followed by Finals.
• Two levels: Super Group & Premier (TCSL may modify dependent on entries – all groups will be formed with goal of matching up appropriate competition)
