The 2022 US Youth Soccer National Presidents Cup recently concluded, with three New Jersey Youth Soccer teams qualifying and all three of those teams taking home the gold. After fierce battles at the state and regional level, the New Jersey teams claimed victory on the prestigious national stage.
“Congratulations to the New Jersey champions at the US Youth Soccer National Presidents Cup,” said Evan Dabby, NJYS Executive Director. “We admire the hard work and dedication of our players, coaches and parents in this achievement.”
The US Youth Soccer Presidents Cup is designed for those teams seeking additional challenges to play against teams of similar abilities for a national title. The Presidents Cup provides a progressive, competitive experience to teams that might not otherwise get the opportunity to participate in a series of unique experiences highlighting competition, camaraderie and community from the state to regional to national levels of US Youth Soccer.
In addition to the ‘triple crown’ for the Garden State teams, 12 New Jersey players were named to their respective age group’s Best XI Team. The Best XI features a selection of players identified by opposing coaches throughout the event who had exceptional on-field performances. Further, two New Jersey players earned tournament honors as a Tournament MVP and Golden Glove recipient.
Congratulations to New Jersey’s National Presidents Cup Champions!
