This weekend the 2025 State Cup returns to the WSFS Bank Sportsplex as clubs and players aim to build on last year’s success… or write a new chapter entirely. With competition spanning the NCS, Presidents Cup, and Challenge Cup, teams will battle for a chance to etch their names into Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer history. 

Challenge Cup 

An open competition that draws teams from across the state, the Challenge Cup crowns champions at every age level. For players in the U9 to U11 brackets, the tournament features gold, silver, and bronze divisions. From U12 through U19, competition is held in a single level, creating a clear path to claim the title of Challenge Cup champion.  

The 2025 Challenge Cup field is packed with familiar names and returning champions ready to defend their titles. Among them is Huntingdon Valley AA HVAA Fury 2015, back in the U10 Boys Silver division after winning last year’s U9 Boys Silver title. FC DELCO Black Conshy ‘15 (B) also returns as the reigning U9 Boys Gold Champion, now facing Lower Merion SC Flash Navy in what promises to be a competitive U10 Boys’ Gold matchup. On the girls’ side, Lower Merion SC Bling Red, last year’s U9 Girls Bronze champion, is back in action, this time taking on Upper Dublin SC Magic Black ‘15, another returning team from last year.  

Other returning contenders include Philadelphia Ukrainian Nationals 14B Black, who took home the U10 Boys Gold crown in 2024 and now look to repeat in the U11 division, and West-Mont United S.A. 2013G Blue, returning as the defending U11 Girls Silver champion.  

One of the must-watch matchups of the weekend comes in the U15 Boys division, where FC DELCO Black Dtown ‘10 (B) will take on FC DELCO Black Conshy ‘10 (B) in an all-DELCO showdown.  

Presidents Cup 

The Presidents Cup is a statewide championship that feeds into the US Youth Soccer Presidents Cup National Event, offering top-performing teams a path to regional and even the national stage. With winners from U13 through U19 age groups advancing to the Eastern Presidents Cup, which Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer will host at the Proving Grounds in Conshohocken and Plymouth Whitemarsh High School from June 13-17, regional champions will earn the opportunity to compete in the prestigious National Presidents Cup.  

One team looking to build on its 2024 success is Vereinigung Erzgebirge SC VE Mountaineers, who return as the reigning U17 Boys champions. This year, they’ll compete against Berks United FC 2007 Boys U18 FC Dortmund for a chance at a back-to-back title.  

For the first time is over ten years, Carlisle Area Youth Soccer Cannons 07/08G and Super Nova FC ’09G will compete in the Presidents Cup. Carlisle Area Youth Soccer will compete in the U18 girls division against FC Ballyhoo 07 Girls Black while Super Nova FC will compete in the U16 girls division against Keystone FC Premier 09G. Lighthouse SC Force will face Huntingdon Valley AA HVAA Stingers 2010 in the U15 boys final, Lighthouse SC’s first appearance in the Presidents Cup since 2017.  

NCS 

The National Championship Series (NCS) is the first leg of the prestigious US Youth Soccer National Championship Series. State Cup champions will earn a place in the US Youth Soccer Eastern Regionals Championships, which will take place in Loudoun County, Virigina from June 28-July 3, with the ultimate goal of advancing to the US Youth Soccer National Championship in Orlando, Florida.  

Several familiar names are returning to the NCS bracket this year, bringing unfinished business and high expectations. HEX FC Dominion USYS 11G is back and looking to bring home the gold in the U14 girls division. Also returning is Penn FC Youth 2008 F Black who won the U16 girls division in 2024.  

A must-see game this weekend is in the U15 girls division where 1776 United FC 1776 United 10 Girls Elite NL will face Warrington SC 2010G Warrington FC United in a rematch from the 2024 final. 1776 United FC took home the gold last year, defeating Warrington 2-1. 

The 2025 State Cup weekend is set to deliver nonstop excitement, whether it’s young teams making their first appearance in the Challenge Cup or clubs chasing a national run in the Presidents Cup and NCS. The WSFS Bank Sportsplex will be the heart of youth soccer in Eastern Pennsylvania this weekend. Let the games begin!
