DIAZA FOOTBALL ANNOUNCES SPECIAL OPEN CUP CONTEST FOR PARTICIPATING TEAMS
New York, 10/23/2024 – Diaza Football is proud to announce a special contest in support of the teams participating in the prestigious Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup 2025. As part of our ongoing commitment to soccer development and grassroots teams, Diaza will award 25 free Gold uniforms to the team from the Diaza family that advances the furthest in this year’s tournament.
CELEBRATING THE OPEN CUP'S LEGACY
The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (USOC) holds a special place in U.S. soccer history. Established in 1914 as the National Challenge Cup, it is the oldest ongoing national
soccer competition in the United States. Since 1999, it has been named in honor of the legendary American soccer pioneer Lamar Hunt, highlighting its deep rooted tradition.
The U.S. Open Cup invites participation from professional, amateur, and Major League Soccer (MLS) teams, making it one of the most inclusive tournaments in world soccer. Legendary teams like Bethlehem Steel from Pennsylvania and Maccabi Los Angeles from California hold the most titles in the tournament's history, with five championships each.
As this iconic competition returns in 2025, Diaza Football is excited to play a role
in celebrating its heritage and fostering new talent.
DIAZA'S COMMITMENT TO THE OPEN CUP TEAMS
Our contest will follow the progress of “Diaza Family” teams, including Dalton United, Chicago House, NY Renegades, NJ Alliance, Steel Pulse, and Kissimmee SC. The team that advances the furthest in the tournament will receive 25 Diaza Gold uniforms, specifically designed for top performance. These uniforms are more than just sports gear; they are a symbol of the journey and resilience that teams embody in their pursuit of success.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE OPEN CUP FOR GROWTH AND EXPOSURE AND ACROSS THE WORLD
For many underdog teams, the U.S. Open Cup is a unique platform to gain national recognition and compete against top-tier opponents. The tournament is a proving ground for talent, often leading to new sponsorships, increased fan support, and media attention. By advancing deep into the competition, these teams not only achieve personal victories but also bring visibility to their communities.
At Diaza, we believe in supporting this spirit of competition and giving back to the teams that work tirelessly to compete at the highest levels. Our contest is designed to celebrate these efforts by providing a tangible reward for their success.
