The CALIFORNIA YOUTH CUP is a boys' youth soccer festival that will take place every June in Fresno, California. While this year's event is for boys only, the cup will be open to girls' teams in 2025. The tournament comes to life as an initiative to present Fresno and the Central Valley as a premier youth soccer event venue.

It aims to allow our young players to showcase their talent at the highest level and to potentially make our region a hotspot for youth soccer. Our tournament will consistently host high-level youth teams from around the world with the intention of creating top-tier competition.

At the same time, it aims to generate networking opportunities for players, coaches, and clubs. Our main goal is to enhance the quality of our game and provide advancement opportunities for high-level players.

The California Youth Cup is organized by California Youth Sports Management Inc. We are a youth soccer organization founded on June 15, 2014. Our institution is based in Fresno, California. The tournament will also receive support from the City of Fresno, the Fresno Council, the Fresno Downtown Foundation, among other organizations.

When

The tournament will take place from June 5 to June 9, 2024.

Where

The tournament will be played primarily on the fields of the Fresno Regional Sports Complex; however, other organizations and school districts such as Clovis Unified, Fresno Unified, and Central Unified will also provide additional fields.

For almost a decade, we have developed a strong network with some of the world's best youth soccer academies, such as GNK Dinamo Zagreb and Sport Lisboa Benfica, and have been running our camps in California since 2016.

Throughout these years, we have exposed approximately two thousand young players to high-quality training, and we will continue to provide these advancement opportunities for our young soccer athletes.

Our camps are designed to improve individuals' technical skills so that they can become better players and make positive contributions to their respective teams.

“The trip to Spain was absolutely amazing. The country itself is beautiful and just to be able to travel to that country and see different places was amazing. The soccer was even better. The training was tough, but really fun. I think as a player this helped me develop so much. It is a different style of play in Spain, and to learn that from both Spanish coaches and players, it made for a great experience. It was the trip of the lifetime, and I will never forget it!”
