The SCHEELS Shakopee Cup, hosted by Shakopee Soccer Association, has seen tremendous growth in recent years, with more teams registering earlier than ever to secure their spot. This tournament has become a staple of the Minnesota soccer calendar, known for its welcoming atmosphere, well-organized competition, and community-driven experience.
A dedicated group of hardworking volunteers from the Shakopee Soccer Association puts in tireless hours to create a festival-like atmosphere, making teams feel at home while delivering a smooth, professionally run event. With top-quality fields and a fun, carnival-style atmosphere, the Shakopee Cup has become a favorite among players, coaches, and families alike.
Many teams start their early season with either the Shakopee Cup or the Future Stars Tournament, one of Minnesota’s most competitive early-season events. Together, these tournaments provide a perfect season arc—Future Stars helping teams get an early start, while Shakopee Cup offers an early-season challenge before heading into league play and summer tournaments.
