International youth soccer tournament 2015 Chicago Kics cup, July 21-26

(firmenpresse) - CHICAGO, IL- April 7, 2015- Chicago KICS Cup organizers announced this week that registration is still open for the 2015 KICS International Youth Soccer Tournament [http;//www.kicscup.com/], to be hosted at Chicago Park District locations from July 21-26, 2015. Opening ceremony will be held on July 19, 2015, at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park, Chicago, Illinois.
KICS Cup registration is open worldwide until June 1, 2015 to boys aged 8 – 16 and girls aged 8 – 16, where local clubs are members of their affiliated national associations. The tournament is played under all applicable US Soccer rules, and KICS Cup organizers also welcome countries where soccer is operated by school soccer associations. The July 2014 inaugural tournament attracted over sixty teams comprising one thousand players, representing seven countries over five continents. Teams from China, Columbia, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Italy, Puerto Rico, and across the United States, together with over three thousand parents and fans, converged in Chicago this past summer.
Dr. Scott Hanlon, CEO of KICS said, “Our vision for KICS Cup is to bring the youth of the world together in the heart of the city of Chicago to experience competition, camaraderie and cultural exchange.” Dr. Hanlon co-founded KICS Cup with former English soccer professional player/coach Matt Miller, KICS co-founder, after the success of running their local youth soccer league, KICS United FC. The community/volunteer based youth league started in 2006 with fifty players, and have since grown to over one thousand by 2015, embracing area youth from diverse backgrounds. The growth of the organization has now led to competitive select teams that play across the Midwest region of the U.S.
Soccer ranks as the number one sport in the world with around 3.5 billion fans across Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, played by over 250 million people in 204 countries. This year’s event expects to bring 25 foreign teams from 16 countries and will make KICS CUP as the world known youth soccer tournament event where young stars will start shining. Over the years soccer has generated billions of dollars and has seen colossal television deals, recently evident with FOX Sports and Univision (MLS) and NBC Sports with its coverage of the English Premier League. KICS Cup organizers trust that Chicago will embrace their endeavors and make this the event of the summer, especially with the mantra “Come for the soccer, stay for Chicago!”
