New Jersey Youth Soccer crowned its NJYS Girls Futsal State Cup champions over the weekend at Sportika Sports in Manalapan, N.J. Winners prevailed in the 11U to 17U age groups, and those teams will now be eligible to participate in US Futsal’s prestigious Regional Championship event that will be held from February 15-19 at the Atlantic City Convention Center.
“NJ Youth Soccer is proud to recognize all of the teams that competed in this inaugural tournament,” said Evelyn Gill, NJYS President. “We hope these teams will go on to represent this tournament at the regional level and, hopefully, qualify for nationals.”
The day-long tournament featured 5v5 futsal, with all teams playing three games at the group stage. At most age divisions, a semifinal and final match were then conducted after group play was completed.
