Wal-Mart Signs On for Soccer Tournament

One of the anchor soccer tournaments here at the NSC is undergoing a major change for 2007. The All American Girls' soccer tournament is now going to be incorporated into a new event, called the Wal-Mart All American Cup. The All American Girls' will now be one of four flights of this new tournament. There will also be a lower-level girls division, a boys division and a 4v4 flight. The Wal-Mart All American Cup website has all the details.

The All American Girls' Premier tournament started in 1995 as a companion to the All American Girls' and Women's Hockey Tournament. The NSC wanted to establish a premier girls-only event similar to the extremely popular WAGS tournament in the Washington D.C. area. The tournament originally was the weekend before USA CUP. By 2000 the tournament was able to stand on its own and was moved to its current date in June. We think the addition of Wal-Mart as the title sponsor and offering more divisions will create another great soccer experience for teams in Minnesota and around the country.
