RECAP: US Youth Soccer National Presidents Cup wraps up 2024 event in Kansas

Wichita, Kan. – After a thrilling week of action, 14 teams claimed US Youth Soccer National Presidents Cup titles at the Scheels Stryker Sports Complex in Wichita, Kan.

More than 4,500 spectators were on hand in the Sunflower State to take in the last moments of this year’s Presidents Cup, with multiple thrilling final matches providing a fitting ending to a campaign that started last fall.

One final – the 17U Boys – was a rematch from the Eastern Presidents Cup championship just last month. Deptford Premier FC ’07 Boys (NJ), who finished as finalists in Charleston, W.Va., reversed that outcome this week in a nail-biting match against SAC Boys 2007 – Premier Blue (MD) that went all the way to penalty kicks – with fourteen rounds needed to separate the two sides.

Illinois was the lone State Association to have two title-winning teams, while Cal South, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, and West Virginia each had one.

Each of the 14 teams etched their name in the trophy books by the end of the week, including the Tupleo 2010 Girls (MS), who became the first team from Mississippi to ever win the National Presidents Cup since it began 16 years ago.
