The Soccer Tournament (TST)

NCFC Youth is excited to welcome and support The Soccer Tournament coming to Cary, NC! Many of our NCFC Youth current coaches, youth alum, and pro club alum are represented across the field of teams. You and your family can take in all the action as a spectator or be part of the event as a volunteer.

 

Tickets for the $1 million, 32-team, winner-take-all, 7v7 world championship are on-sale now at TheTournament.com/tst-tickets. The inaugural event will be played at WakeMed Soccer Park from June 1-4, 2023 and will feature historic clubs including Wrexham, Borussia Dortmund, West Ham, Wolverhamptom, among many others! Session tickets are going fast!

 

Teams are coming from 7 different countries, and the event will feature 22 players who total more than 1,300 U.S. Senior National Team caps on the men’s and women’s teams. NCFC Youth coach and former U.S Women’s National Team (USWNT) player, Heather O’Reilly, has fielded a team (US Women) which includes former USWNT players, NCFC Youth Staff Coach Kendall Fletcher, NCFC Youth alums Hanna Gardner & Casey Loyd, and former NCFC Youth coach Kacey White . The team is led by head coaches Mia Hamm, Carla Overbeck, and Michelle Akers.

 

Our pro team, North Carolina FC, is also in the field of 32 teams as NCFC Legends. The roster features numerous NCFC Youth ties with youth club alum (Nazmi Albadawi, Brian Ackley, Joseph Goodwin, & Michael Harrington), former coaches (Conor Tobin, Nic Platter), and current coaches/staff Cory Elenio, Dewan Bader, and Henry Gutierrez. Cesc Fabregas, Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan, Chad OchoCinco Johnson, & Noah Beck will be among other players and coaches vying to be the last team standing.

 

In addition to high quality soccer, TST is set to provide a great fan experience that will feature a festival full of exhibitors, family activities, food trucks, a beer garden that overlooks two of the fields, and multiple VIP hospitality options, including field access for the championship match.
