The USL Academy Cup is designed to bring together top youth prospects from clubs affiliated with the United Soccer League’s Championship, League One, League Two, and W League divisions. Most of the clubs will be full-time participants of the USL Academy League, while some are participating in the USL Academy space for the first time. By playing on these academy-level teams, players have the chance to regularly train in a professional environment. Some may even be playing at the pro level through USL Academy contracts, where young talents can be rostered on the senior team without losing college eligibility, or on professional contracts with USL clubs.
Age groups participating in this competition are:
All teams are guaranteed four matches, three group matches and one final/consolation game.
Coaches and scouts who register will receive additional information in the weeks leading up to each event, including but not limited to player profiles, rosters and more.
