EARNED. NOT GIVEN.
Every player who competes in the All-American Player ID Series is competing for more than just results—they’re competing for selection.
From each Series location, only the TOP players are chosen to advance to the 2026 All-American Golden Cup, our premier, invitation-only event held at the end of the year in Round Rock, Texas and Naples, Florida.
Those selected earn the distinction of competing among the Nation’s Best Players—a title reserved for the elite. The Golden Cup is where reputations are built, talent is separated, and the highest level of competition comes together on one stage.
If your player earns an invitation to the Golden Cup, this is an opportunity you do not pass up.
Dates & locations
The All-American Golden Cup is the pinnacle event of the Soccer Youth calendar and the most competitive stage we offer. Each year, hundreds of elite players from across North America and around the world come together, representing 40+ U.S. states and multiple countries.
This is where top talent rises. The level is exceptional, the environment is professional, and every match carries meaning. An invitation to the All-American Golden Cup is earned—not given.
