this… in this age group its obvious who is not going unless they get a major overhaul of ecnl Carolina refugees (which is very possible w parents embracing the drive to Wilmington) https://theecnl.com/news/2025/8/8/ecnl-girls-ecnl-announces-2025-2026-league-cups-powered-by-discount-tire.aspx ECNL Mid-Atlantic League Cup (U15-U18/19): Two groups of five, with the top two from each group advancing to the knockout stage. ECNL Mid-Atlantic League Cup U15-U17 winners receive automatic qualification to ECNL Girls National Playoffs. Group stage play is Sept. 13-14, 2025. Knockout play will be announced at a later date. My guess if its not random Bracket 1 Beach | RU | VDA | Arl | FVU Bracket 2 Charlotte | NCC | NCF | NCFC | Wilmington Really puts the pressure on teams in contention for group stage while allowing the winner to sit girls and give girls more playtime/exposure heading into the playoffs/group stage. If history is any lesson we can figure out how this plays out. Unless there is some politics involved (looks at RU sternly) and a strong team is placed in a bracket of weak teams. This honestly is a more interesting concept outside of the MA |
look above… or keep reading that page. We get two groups of five. |
It was updated. When it was originally posted it said four groups of three. |
VDA and Arlington both in Copa Rayados.
VDA has Loudoun GA and McLean GA. Arlington plays SYC and Loudoun GA. Good luck Loudoun. |
How do you all not know the groups? NA was already decided and teams were told. Also, we were told that this does not lead to a playoff spot. Playoffs were reduced to 2 teams in the NA due to world cup. |
I have heard this too and am not doubting this. But could someone please explain to me why the world cup being here next summer correlates to needing to send one less team from each division to nationals? The tournament is not at a stadium that the WC teams will be playing at or even practicing at, nor should reducing 10 or so teams going to this tournament reduce all that much hotel space... Maybe I am being thick, but I just don't get it. |
i havent seen that but maybe the club hasn’t communicated it yet for fear of blowbk. Im with you though this doesn’t make sense…. But this is American kids futbol. |
It is ON!!!!

This message board will be entertaining the next day. |
I'm expecting live posting y'all |
[quote=Anonymous]1. Arlington
2. Courage 3.Richmond 4. VDA or Charlotte 5. VDA or Charlotte 6. Beach 7. Fvu 8. NCFC 9.Wilmington If anyone disagrees your just mad your kids not ranked higher up🤷🏼 [/quote] Pretty close except Beachbis terrible lol |
Arlington mayor may hit even make playoffs this year after their serious drop off last spring. Hell, they got worked by FVU in that last game and were lucky to get out with a 1-0 win lol |
Arlington may not. |
so we are going to act like Arl didn’t have a major player injured on defense… with Vda scoring the off of a lucky goal… made by a player in the right place at the right time after a missed kick by a trapped player?! A gimme game at that?! You guys like writing large checks. Hope the bank can cash them. Fully loaded ARL incoming with defensive upgrades. And arl2011 is not Revolution. Season starts soon✅ |
