If you are interested in hosting a MSYSA State Cup Weekend at your facility, please read the information and submit a proposal as stated in the State Cup RFP Overview.
What is the MSYSA State Cup?
The MSYSA State Cup is the first level of competition for two (2) US Youth Soccer competitions.
The top division of State Cup (Elite Division) is intended for teams that participate in Elite-64, National League Conferences, and the majority of teams that participate in the Premier 1 Division of MSPSP. Other teams, including teams from MSPSP Premier 2 and other organizations, may be considered to fill open spots in brackets. U13 - U19 teams in the Elite division will be competing to earn spots at the US Youth Soccer Midwest Regional Championships and potentially National Championships.
The next division of State Cup is the Premier Division and it is intended for teams that participate in MSPSP (primarily Premier 2 and below) and for teams that participate in select leagues throughout Michigan. Other teams, including teams from MSPSP Premier 1 and other organizations, may be considered in order to fill open spots in brackets. U13 - U18 teams in the Premier Division will be competing to earn spots at the US Youth Soccer Midwest President's Cup and potentially National President's Cup.
Ultimately, division placement is at the discretion of the MSYSA State Cup Committee. However, regardless of division placement, each team will play 3 or 4 self-scheduled preliminary games and teams who do well will advance to the Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and then eventually the Finals. This is sure to be a great experience for your team!
U14 - U19 Girls teams participate in the Fall State Cup and U13 Girls teams participate in the Spring State Cup.
SAVE THE DATE! The Fall State Cup weekends in 2023 will be September 30-October 1 (Quarterfinals & Semifinals) and October 14-15 (Finals).
NEW for 2022-2023: Teams (and their accompanying spectators) will now sit on opposite sides of the field. Also, there is a new structure of referee fees - see rules for more information.
