Most Prestigious Adult Soccer Championship to be held in Oakford, PA on July 30-August 1
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (December 8, 2009) – The United States Adult Soccer Association, the governing body of adult soccer in the U.S., is pleased to announce the celebration of the 2010 National Cup Finals being held in Oakford, Pennsylvania. The three-day national championship will be played at the United German Hungarian Club on July 30 – August 1, and will gather four women’s and twelve men’s teams in the Amateur, Open and Over 30 competitions.
More than 200 teams have already begun National Cups qualifications at the state level in each of the four USASA regions. The winners will advance to the Regional Finals to be held next summer. Once regional finals declare their champions, these teams will earn the right to compete in the National Cup Finals in representation of their region for the distinction of national champions.
In 2010, the United German Hungarians will celebrate 100 years since their founding. The club is proud of all its accomplishments and it’s beginning to plan a year-long celebration.
“We look forward to hosting USASA and the National Cup Teams at our fine establishment and club in 2010” said Club President William Galgon. “The Philadelphia and Bucks County Areas are rich in soccer traditions; we have hosted many local, state, regional and national events at our facility, including the 1989, 1994, 2000, and 2002 National Cup Finals.”
The United German Hungarians are committed to providing the facilities, management staff, and the necessary volunteers to assist the National Cups Committee to properly stage this prestigious event.
“Our commitment to hosting a quality event is a tradition which we uphold” Galgon added.
The USASA National Cup Finals is the United States’ most prestigious soccer competition sought after by adult amateur teams. The premier amateur soccer clubs in the country are always participants of the national championship; teams from well respected clubs that have won national and regional titles as well as played in the U.S. Soccer’s Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup have gone through the USASA path.
