We’re proud to announce the conclusion of this year’s Winter State Cup, where some of Michigan’s top U13 and U14 boys teams competed in a high-level, single-elimination showcase of talent, determination, and teamwork. Hosted by the Michigan State Youth Soccer Association, the event highlighted the strength and depth of elite youth soccer across the state.
Following an exciting slate of semifinal and final matchups, champions have officially been crowned in both age groups.
Congratulations to:
- Midwest United FC U14 MLS Next HG
- Midwest United FC U13 MLS Next HG
Both teams delivered outstanding performances throughout the competition, demonstrating exceptional quality, resilience, and a true championship mentality on their path to capturing the 2026 Winter State Cup titles.
As a result of their success, each squad has earned the opportunity to compete in the prestigious MLS Next Cup in May 2026, where they will represent Michigan against top competition from across the country.
We commend all participating teams for making this year’s Winter State Cup an incredible winter showcase and look forward to seeing continued growth and success as the spring season approaches.
