The 2026 Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer State Cup came to a close this weekend at the WSFS Sportsplex after three days of championship action across the Challenge Cup, Presidents Cup and National Championship Series. Teams from across the state battled for trophies, delivered dramatic finishes and added new chapters to club history throughout an exciting weekend of finals.
Challenge Cup
The Challenge Cup featured a mix of returning champions, first-time winners and dramatic finishes across all age groups.
Haverford SC 2015 Her-icanes successfully defended their title with a 2-0 win over Western Lehigh United SC in the U11 Girls Silver division, while Springfield SC Hurricanes 2011 earned the team’s first-ever Challenge Cup championship with a 1-0 victory against Langhorne Neshaminy United SC in the U15 Boys final.
In U18 Boys, Lititz Youth Soccer Club returned to the finals for the first time since 2021 and came away with the title after defeating Hunter SC Blue Devils in a PK shootout.
Presidents Cup
The Presidents Cup delivered several close contests and memorable moments, with multiple teams completing redemption runs or capturing milestone victories.
Lighthouse SC Force claimed the U16 Boys title one year after falling in the Presidents Cup final, defeating FC Ballyhoo 1-0. PA Mutiny Gold Soul 12 also made history in just its second Presidents Cup appearance, earning a 1-0 win over Springfield SC to secure the U14 Girls championship.
Fever SC added another trophy to its weekend with a 3-0 victory over FC Europa in the U13 Boys final, while Towamencin Youth Association Towamencin Force captured the U19 Girls title in PKs after a scoreless match against Carlisle Area Youth Soccer.
National Championship Series
The National Championship Series once again showcased some of the top competition in the state, highlighted by several tightly contested finals and standout club performances.
FC Europa led the way with six total State Cup titles across all competitions, including multiple NCS championships. Fever SC also earned an NCS title after defeating FC Europa in PKs in the U14 Girls final.
Philadelphia International FC secured the U16 Boys championship with a 2-1 win over FC Europa, while PA Classics Academy Reading 09F earned a 3-2 victory over Steel United to claim the U17 Girls title.
Lancaster FC added to the weekend’s list of champions with a win in the U18/19 Boys division and also picked up a Challenge Cup title in U19 Boys.
From dramatic PK shootouts to milestone victories, this year’s State Cup finals weekend delivered memorable moments across all three competitions. With trophies lifted and champions crowned, the focus now shifts to the next stage as Presidents Cup winners prepare for regional play and NCS champions move on to the US Youth Soccer National Championships later this summer.
