US Youth Soccer national championships to return to Overland Park in 2019, 2020

US Youth Soccer announced Thursday that its national championship event will return to the Overland Park Soccer Complex in 2019 and 2020.

The championships were previously contested in Overland Park in 2010 and 2013. The event was held in Tulsa, Okla., this summer, when the Sporting KC Academy’s under-15 boys team won a championship.

The championships will be held at the Toyota Soccer Center in Frisco, Texas, in 2016-18. Frisco was host in 2007.

“We are excited to have two great facilities locked in to host the US Youth Soccer National Championships for the next five years, and we look forward to working with both complex staffs, the North Texas State Soccer Association, and the Kansas State Youth Soccer Association,” said John Sutter, chair of US Youth Soccer in a release. “The event continues to get better each year, and we expect Frisco and Overland Park to continue to help make the National Championships a great experience for the players.”

National championships are contested by US Youth Soccer in boys and girls age groups from under-13 through under-19.
