TSSA State Cup is the culmination of the spring season for Tennessee State League, where a record 375 teams from 54 different clubs participated in the statewide competition.
“The first weekend of our Spring cup event was very successful,” said Hans Hobson, TSSA Chief Executive Officer. “The play on the field was excellent. We look forward to the final weekend matchups and crowning the individual State Cup Champions.”
Tennessee State Cup Champions at the Division 1 level (13U and older) will advance to the US Youth Soccer (USYS) Regional Tournament this June in Tampa and Auburndale, Florida. The competition is part of the USYS National Championships Presented by New York Life, which is the country’s most prestigious national youth soccer tournament. Champions at the Division 2 level (13U and older) will continue onto regional play in the USYS Southern Presidents Cup next month in Plano, Texas. The USYS Presidents Cup provides a progressive and competitive environment to teams that might not otherwise get the opportunity to participate in a series of unique experiences highlighting competition, camaraderie and community.
Open to all member clubs and their teams, TSSA has hosted the Tennessee State Cup since 1976. Games are played at competitive levels within three divisions (Division 1, Division 2 and Divisions 3).
