Located at ONE COMPLEX in beautiful Salem, Oregon, Capital FC’s Cherry City Cup is the ideal way to enter your fall season. With quality competition at every level, we are excited to welcome you for this tournament over Labor Day Weekend.

All games are held at Capital Futbol Club’s 37-acre soccer complex. With high quality grass and synthetic fields, over 600 parking spots, on-site vendors, and nearby eateries, we offer Oregon’s best soccer tournament experience.

TOURNAMENT HIGHLIGHTS

 

THREE-GAME-GUARANTEE AND QUALITY REFEREEING

All teams receive 3 games over three days. Finals will be played on Sunday.

Friday: Over 80% of the teams will play a single game (a few might play two, but that is not the norm). Games will begin at 1pm on Friday. Teams at partner hotels traveling 4+ hours will be able to request to start after 2:30pm on Friday.

Saturday: Teams should plan on two games. The games will be from 8:30am to 8:30pm. Teams at partner hotels traveling 4+ hours will be able to request later kickoffs.

Sunday: Teams should plan on one or two games. The games will be from 8:30am to 8:30pm with Championship games held in the afternoon.

Referees come from our in-house and award winning Referee Coordinator, Jose Maciel, who has consistently provided great coverage with referees that match the needs of each level of competition.

We work hard to create meaningful competition across all divisions so teams can compete accordingly.

 

CONVENIENT AND FESTIVE AWARD-WINNING VENUE

Games are in ONE LOCATION, not spread out across multiple venues. This simplifies the experience and creates a “carnival feel” at the event, as well as makes it an easy tournament for clubs to participate in and watch/support multiple teams.

Capital FC’s Pioneer Sports Park is Oregon’s Best Soccer Venue. Privately owned and operated, the complex includes 2 FIFA PRO Quality Turf Fields, well-manicured grass, and amenities for fans and players alike.
