US Youth Soccer Partners Again with Kohl’s
Kohl’s to remain title sponsor of nation’s largest recreational youth soccer tournament
Since 2005, Kohl’s has been the title sponsor of the Kohl’s US Youth Soccer American Cup, the largest recreational youth soccer tournament in the United States. Working with US Youth Soccer, Kohl’s American Cup reaches an average of 55,000 players and 145,000 spectators each year.
US Youth Soccer, the largest youth sports organization in the country – not just the largest soccer association, is proud to announce the extension of a partnership that originally began in 1999 with Kohl’s Department Stores.
In 2014, each Kohl’s American Cup event will feature all new interactive inflatable games in addition to giveaways, music and souvenirs.
Under the new agreement the partnership will extend through 2014 and will again designate Kohl’s as “The Official Retail Department Store of US Youth Soccer” and title sponsor of the popular Kohl’s US Youth Soccer American Cup.
John Sutter, president of US Youth Soccer, said, “The Kohl’s US Youth Soccer American Cup continues to grow and provide our recreational players a great opportunity for friendly competition in a fun, family-like atmosphere. Kohl’s has been a tremendous supporter of our organization and we look forward to our continued relationship.”
Throughout its history, the Kohl’s American Cup has served as an avenue to highlight recreational soccer players and promote fair play. The Kohl’s American Cup has boasted more than 500,000 participants and 1,300,000 spectators since its inception in 2005. Additionally, Kohl’s will continue to support the US Youth Soccer National Championship Series, the crown jewel of competitive youth soccer, at the regional and national levels, as well as supporting future US Youth Soccer opportunities to further the membership benefits of the association.
