RICHMOND, Va. (November 25, 2025) - ECNL Boys is excited to announce the rosters and format for the ECNL Boys Conference Cup, presented by Discount Tire. The ECNL Boys Conference Cup will be held December 11-14, 2025 at the WRAL Soccer Park in Raleigh, North Carolina. The ECNL Boys Conference Cup will run concurrently with the ECNL East Coast and Central Super Cup, creating a can't-miss event for scouts and soccer fans alike.
The ECNL Conference Cup is an exciting opportunity for top players within the ECNL Selection Program. In total, 60 of the top rising U16-U18 boys players from across the country will be placed into four different teams for a mini-game competition played over the course of three days. Each team will combine players from different ECNL Boys Conferences, geographically linked to represent different areas of the country. The team atop the standings after three group play games will be crowned Conference Cup Champion.
While the ECNL Boys Super Cup sees top performing ECNL clubs forming their own best rosters to compete for a club v club title, the Conference Cup provides an 'All-Star' experience for many of the most decorated individual ECNL Boys players from around the country. Conference Cup player selections take into account the past 18-months of performances, including 2024-25 National Selection Games and end-of-season honors as well as recommendations from the ECNL Selection Program scouting network.
Players were selected for the Conference Cup by ECNL player identification staff through a combination of scouting and recommendations based on performances over the past several months, including performances in National Selection Games throughout the 2024-25 ECNL National Events. Past Conference Cup alumni include Jacob Murrell (Pipeline SC/DC United), Nick Simmonds (Richmond United/Virginia Cavaliers), Pablo Linzoain (Riverhounds Academy/Pittsburgh Riverhounds) and more, all of whom used Conference Cup to further their soccer aspirations. Conference Cup, like Super Cup, is built into the visitRaleigh.com College Showcase, allowing all attending players the opportunity to experience the NCAA Men's College Cup in Raleigh, NC, and is a designated Olympic Development Program.
A finalized version of the event schedule will be shared in the coming weeks.
