While the 2025 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup Quarterfinals are nearly complete, the next tournament is already fast approaching. Another entry in the 2026 US Open Cup will be determined this weekend in Milwaukee as the United States Adult Soccer Association holds the Semifinals and the Final of the 2025 National Amateur Cup.
For the seventh year in a row, the winner of the USASA’s National Amateur Cup will qualify for next year’s US Open Cup. The tournament is taking place at Uihlein Soccer Park in Milwaukee, Wis.
The champions of each of the four regions will play semifinal games on Friday night, before a championship game is held on Saturday night. The USASA will also be wrapping up tournaments to crown champions in the women’s amateur cup, as well as the Over-30 and Over-40 divisions.

This year’s regional champions is a mix of familiar faces and new competition.
RWB Adria is a regular of Midwest soccer and is seeking not only its third National Amateur Cup but its sixth US Open Cup appearance of the Modern Era (1995-present). They are, however, the only team here with previous NAC pedigree.
West Chester United got close in 2018 but fell just short to champions Milwaukee Bavarian SC. The team has won other national titles, like the Werner Fricker Open Cup and the Hank Steinbrecher Cup, but two wins this weekend would give the Predators its first National Amateur Cup championship.
The rest of the field is all new faces looking for their first taste of national titles and the US Open Cup.
Say Word FC first made headlines when it joined The Soccer Tournament (TST) in 2023, hoping to win $1 million dollars on national TV. Since then, the club has continued to grow and now plays locally in North Carolina state leagues.
Sin City FC is even newer, having only formed in 2024 and playing in regional leagues such as the Southwest Premier League and NISA Nation.
