On Thursday June 1 at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina, 32 teams will kick off a frantic five-day tournament at the end of which one lucky group will claim a $1 million cash prize. The 32 teams are split into eight four-team groups, all playing the other three teams in their group on that opening day of the tournament. Those games will consist of 20-minute halves as the two sides play 7-v-7 on fields roughly half the size of a standard pitch (65 yards long by 45 yards for the maximum dimensions).
The tournament was open to anyone able to put together a team and fill out an online application process, leading to a wide range of groups participating.
