COPA DC is a citywide tournament hosted by Open Goal Project, bringing together DC-based teams for a high-quality, competitive weekend of soccer. Built around community, accessibility, and local pride, the tournament creates a unique opportunity for teams across the District to compete against one another and earn recognition as the top club in DC. COPA DC is designed as a true District-wide competition—bringing together teams that represent neighborhoods and communities from across DC. This tournament creates that platform: a space where local teams can compete, represent their communities, and build connections across wards. Each team will be guaranteed a minimum of three games, with a structured tournament format that advances top teams into bracket finals for each age group. COPA DC will offer a community festival feel, with food, fútbol, and fun.

This tournament is supported in part by the DC Mayor’s Office of Community Affairs. While traditional tournaments often cost $750–$1,000 per team, we instead invite teams to make a strongly encouraged donation of $500 at registration to support tournament operations and help sustain free programming for DC youth.
