King Juan Cup 2026: A Day of Competition, Community, and Fun

The King Juan Cup 2026, hosted by Warriors, wrapped up on August 29 after a full day of youth soccer, competition, and community at Cherry Crest Elementary School in Bellevue. https://kingjuancup.org/archive/2026

This year’s tournament brought together 20 teams for a fun and competitive day of 5v5 soccer. Games kicked off in the morning and continued throughout the day, giving players the opportunity to compete, meet new teammates and opponents, and most importantly, enjoy the game.

One of the things that makes the King Juan Cup special is that the teams are not traditional club teams. Instead, players came together from across the local soccer community to form teams for the tournament.

This year’s players represented many of the Seattle-area soccer clubs and programs, including Crossfire Premier (XF), Eastside FC, Seattle United, Seattle Surf, Seattle Celtic, Warriors, United Sports, and many more.

That mix is what the King Juan Cup is all about: bringing players from different clubs together, creating new friendships, and giving kids a chance to play with and against players they might not normally meet during the regular season.

A huge thank you goes to all the players, parents, coaches, volunteers, and supporters who helped make the 2026 King Juan Cup possible. And special thanks to Warriors for hosting the event and to all of the teams who came out and made the day such a great experience.

We hope everyone had a great time—and we look forward to seeing you again at the next King Juan Cup!

Thank you for being part of the King Juan community. ⚽
