Eastside FC 94 Red won the Under-16 Boys Regional title in 2011 and finished in a four-way tie to advance to the championship game at Nationals, but missed out on tiebreakers. Washington finally broke through to claim its first National Championship in almost 20 years when Eastside FC 98 Red won the Under-14 Girls after advancing from the regional competition. Washington teams have won five national titles, the first of which came in 1983.
