Participation

The New York Champions Cup is a marquee benefit of competing in the Cosmopolitan Junior Soccer League. This elite, invitation-only event brings together the best-performing teams from across CJSL, EDP North Atlantic (D1–D3), and EDP Connecticut for a final showdown celebrating excellence in youth soccer.

This year’s Champions Cup will be held June 21–22, 2025, at the SUSA Orlin & Cohen Soccer Complex.

Qualifying teams enjoy free registration—a major perk—though are responsible for referee fees during the semifinals (finals are covered by the leagues). Teams will be grouped into Gold, Silver, and Bronze brackets by level and bracket size, with semifinal and/or final formats applied accordingly.

To qualify, CJSL teams must complete their full Spring 2025 schedule by Sunday, June 15, with no forfeits or incomplete matches allowed.
