Last year we ran a piece detailing the 2017 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup, of course with every Open Cup Tournament like this there are changes year to year and we’re here to help.
This year Minnesota will see two teams (Minnesota United FC and NPSL Duluth FC) compete in the tournament along with Fargo, ND based (even though they actually play in Moorhead) Dakota Fusion FC. This is the first time since Minnesota teams started competing in the USOC in 1999 that more than one club from the North Star State will compete in the main portion (Minneapolis City, competing under parent club Stegmans’, was eliminated in qualifying) of the Open Cup.
