Super 17s added for 2014 tournament

• by Soccer America , Feb 11, 2014

[DALLAS CUP] Dr Pepper Dallas Cup has added a Super 17s division for the 2014 tournament that will mark its 35th anniversary. Composed of six U.S. and six foreign clubs, the Super 17s bracket will provide the U-17 age group a division similar to the U-19’s Gordon Jago Super Group.

“The quality of teams that applied for the U-17 age group this year was once again tremendous,” said Dr Pepper Dallas Cup executive director Andy Swift. “Due to the number of exceptional teams, we were able to create a 12-team Super Group while not diminishing the regular U-17 bracket, which will still consist of 28 highly regarded domestic and international teams.”

Dr Pepper Dallas Cup XXXV will run April 13-20 with the Super 17s final being played on April 20 at the Cotton Bowl Stadium.
