FRISCO, Texas (Via US Youth Soccer) — The US Youth Soccer Regional Championships wrapped up on July 5, as 64 Regional winners or finalists in the Under-13 through Under-17 Boys and Girls Divisions earned automatic qualification into the US Youth Soccer National League for the 2016-17 season.

The Regional Champions or representatives to Nationals in the Under-13 and Under-17 age groups secure spots in next year’s league, while the league’s expansion allows both finalists in the Under-14 through Under-16 age groups to qualify for the 2016-17 National League season.
