US Youth Soccer has selected Wichita to host the 2026, 2027 and 2028 National Presidents Cup — the first time the event will be held in Wichita for three consecutive years. The event will be staged at SCHEELS Stryker Sports Complex.
Wichita previously hosted in 2023 and 2024.
“Wichita has proven to be an ideal host for our National Presidents Cup,” said USYS CEO Tom Condon. “With its top-tier venues like the SCHEELS Stryker Sports Complex, strong collaboration with Kansas State Youth Soccer and incredible support from city and state leaders, Wichita continues to raise the bar. We’re excited to return for the next three years.”
Over the three-year term, the event is projected to attract more than 6,000 players, coaches and officials, as well as their families, generating an estimated $12 million in direct economic impact.
“This prestigious tournament’s commitment to Wichita is further proof that sports tourism is a growing sector for the state economy,” Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said. “Kansas proudly welcomes US Youth Soccer to the heart of the country for another three years of championship-caliber competition.”
The 2023 event came about through a collaborative effort by Visit Wichita, the city of Wichita, Kansas State Youth Soccer Association, Sedgwick County and the state of Kansas.
“Our team is proud to continue our strong relationship with US Youth Soccer,” said Josh Howell, vice president of sports development at Visit Wichita. “To be chosen as the host for three consecutive years is a remarkable honor and a reflection of the investments we’ve made in sports tourism and our facilities. It’s also a testament to the relationships we’ve forged with US Youth Soccer and our amazing community partners.”
