Future Stars Unity Cup

Next date: Saturday, June 06, 2026 | 11:00 AM to 07:00 PM

One week before the World Cup Soccer Competition kicks off, Ulster County is hosting a youth soccer tournament and cultural fair, the Ulster Future Stars Unity Cup. The event is on June 6, from 11 AM to 7 PM at the Field of Dreams, 241 Libertyville Rd, New Paltz (rain date June 7, same time.) This free community event, co-hosted by the United Way of Ulster County, will celebrate youth athletics and cultural diversity. Youth players are encouraged to register in advance or on the day of the event at https://ulstercountyny.gov/FutureStarsCup.

“One Life Only,” an initiative of Ulster County District Attorney Emmanuel Nneji, will serve as the title sponsor for the inaugural tournament. This partnership highlights a shared commitment to ensuring positive, supportive, and safe opportunities for local youth.

The Unity Cup represents a collaboration designed to build community pride, and uplift diverse cultural traditions. Alongside the fast‑paced soccer tournament, attendees will enjoy a fun youth cultural fair showcasing local heritage, food vendors, art, and family‑friendly activities. All funds raised through sponsorship contributions and community donations at the event itself will directly support United Way of Ulster County’s impact programs across the County.

Registration is FREE but strongly encouraged prior to the event. Teams will be grouped into four categories: Under 8, Under 10, Under 12, and Under 18.
