New Jersey Youth Soccer brought together the top youth soccer talent in the state this past weekend for the conclusion of its Fall 2025 State Cup Championships. With teams competing in the 11U-14U age brackets, 44 teams battled for the title of “State Champion” across the National Championship Series, Presidents Cup and Challenge Cup competitions.
Thousands of spectators lined the sidelines at Maria Gatta Park in Oceanport on Saturday and Sunday, with families and friends rallying behind the players. This year’s event marked the largest attendance of spectators for the Fall State Cup in recent memory. In addition, it is estimated that over 1,000 additional viewers tuned in to Hudl TV to support their teams via the Hudl Focus Flex live stream.
“This past weekend’s State Cup Finals showcased the great talent in NJYS,” said Bill Smith, President of New Jersey Youth Soccer. “The level of competition was outstanding, the sportsmanship was first-class, the referees delivered top-qualify performances. I’m incredibly proud of our NJYS staff and volunteers whose hard work made this event such a success. Congratulations to all the teams who represented our state with pride and passion!”
Celebrating Champions
Thanks to Wilson Trophy, the Official Trophy Partner of New Jersey Youth Soccer, awards were presented to the champions and finalists to celebrate their achievements in style. Champions had the bonus opportunity to place their club atop of the division’s custom bracket board that detailed their team’s Championship journey in a bracket-style layout.
Record Breaking Digital Engagement
Digital traffic and engagement reached new heights. Social engagement increased significantly from the Fall 2024 State Cup Finals, with the event seeing a spiked increase in views over the two-day event.
