Copa DC is a community initiative designed by Open Goal Project to improve accessibility, opportunity, and high level competition within youth soccer in the District of Columbia.
For years the DC youth soccer landscape has been divided and fragmented. Clubs have historically competed in different leagues and there is very little competition across local clubs. 2020 has been a unique year for youth soccer across the country, and we know it’s time to consider some unique and innovative models.
