EDP SOCCER TOURNAMENT RECAP | EDP Cup Fall 2023

EDP Cup Fall is one of the most prestigious Columbus Day weekend tournaments in the country. The tournament brought together teams from all of the nation's elite platforms, including MLS Next, Girls Academy League, ECNL Boys, ECNL Girls, National Academy League, USYS National League and more! Over 500 teams competed from 11 State Associations, representing the East Region, Midwest Region, South Region, and Canada. The best vs best atmosphere created some special moments from exceptional players, as high-level talent was on display across four different venues.
The weekend had over 70 brackets, each with very evenly matched teams. Of the 500+ teams, only five kept a clean sheet in all three of their group stage matches. Those five teams were Wall Elite Atalanta, NJ Premier G2010, Middletown SC Courage Red, Massapequa SC Spirit SUSC 2010 Premier Boys, and Match Fit Academy FC 2010 Girls Shore ECRL. Only 15% of the teams finished the group stages with a perfect three points per game, led by SYC Soccer who had five teams accomplish this impressive feat. AC Connecticut, Massapequa SC, NESA, and South Shore FC each had three teams with perfect group stage performances.
