SoCal Reds FC GA U16 Crowned National Cup Champions

The journey is complete.

After nearly a year of hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment, the SoCal Reds FC GA U16 squad has been crowned National Cup Champions. What began as a shared goal among players, coaches, and families culminated in an unforgettable championship weekend, cementing this team's place in SoCal Reds FC history.

The road to the title featured three hard-fought victories against some of the nation's top competition:

Quarterfinal

SoCal Reds GA 2–1 Seacoast United GA

Semifinal

SoCal Reds GA (10) 0–0 (9) Utah Celtic GA (SoCal Reds advanced on penalties)

Final

SoCal Reds GA 1–0 Columbus United GA

The championship-winning moment came when Tournament MVP Marissa Devine confidently converted a penalty to secure the National Cup title.

Defensively, the team was just as impressive. Goalkeepers Stella Annaloro and Naiomi Tase, alongside a resilient backline, allowed just one goal throughout the tournament, showcasing the discipline and determination that defined this championship run.

While the final scorelines tell part of the story, this title was earned through months of preparation. Countless training sessions, early mornings, long road trips, late nights, sacrifices, and perseverance laid the foundation for this achievement. Every player, coach, and family member played a role in making this dream a reality.

To our coaching staff, thank you for your leadership, belief, and commitment throughout the season.

To our families, thank you for every mile traveled, every cheer from the sidelines, and your endless support.

And to our players—this moment belongs to you.
