This tournament is open to ONLY Nebraska teams.
The Kohl's American Cup provides recreational youth soccer players an opportunity to experience a consistent and high-quality statewide tournament in a fun, festival-like atmosphere. It fosters stimulation and excitement about soccer in an effort to increase the recreational players' interest in and love for the game.

The Kohl's American Cup is open to ENSA, CYSL and in-house leagues and lower teams in the U11 - U15 age groups and any division at U9-U10 age Groups. U9 - U10 teams will compete in a festival format with each team playing three games with no finals. U11 - U15 teams will play a three game round robin format with finals.

The tournament will be hosted at Tranquility Soccer Complex and other locations as needed in the Omaha area. We are giving recreational teams an opportunity to participate statewide.
