Miami Athletic Club Tournament Series announces the Homestead Cup 2025.  The tournament will be held December 13 – 14, 2025.  This event is open to USYS and US Club Soccer-affiliated teams.  

All games will be played in the South Florida area with the primary location being Homestead.  All sites are within a short drive to our Nation’s beautiful Miami Beach, as well as other attractions such as Fort Lauderdale, Hard Rock Cafe Stadium (home to Miami Dolphins), University of Miami, Homestead, Palm Beach, and numerous National Parks and Historical Landmarks.  

A breakdown of each age group and gender for 8U-16U will generally be done with one or two brackets for each division.  Each team is scheduled for three (3) matches.  Division matches will take place on Saturday, and Sunday with one or two matches being played each day.

The Homestead Cup will follow the new US Soccer Guidelines for Age Groups.  All groups will be determined by the oldest player on the team’s year of Birth.  This event will allow a maximum of 6 Guest players per team.  The maximum roster size for each team is 12-18 for U8-U16.
