Iowa Presidents Cup champions become eligible for regional play at the US Youth Soccer (USYS) Midwest Regional Presidents Cup next summer, with regional winners then moving onto the USYS National Presidents Cup.
“We love hosting a state championship experience that leads to opportunities to play and compete at both the regional and national level,” said Craig Winger, Chief Member Services Operator at Iowa Soccer Association. “This is a truly unique opportunity that supports the optimal environment for players, coaches AND referees to show up and be their best each and every day as they play for something more!”
