The 2018 NIRSA National Soccer Championships are heading to Foley, Alabama for the 25th anniversary tournament. Ninety-six teams from across the continent will compete across the Open and Championship Divisions for the title of NIRSA National Soccer Champions, November 30 through December 1.
While the Championship Division at-large bids will not be determined until November 6, 48 teams (24 men’s teams and 24 women’s teams) have emerged through a lottery process and have been invited to participate in the Open Division. Check out the full draw, including the alternate teams, below.
Teams that have received an Open Division bid invitation and that also qualify for the Championship Division will have the option of participating in either division. Awarded bids that are not accepted will revert to the highest ranked alternate team (as determined by the lottery draw) from the region.
If you want to learn more about how to qualify for the Championship Division, contact your local NIRSA soccer regional coordinator.
