Veterans Invitational Tournament

(Evansville, IN)
The Veterans Invitational attracts some of the most competitive clubs in the Mid-West - 250 teams from eight states for the past two years and and organizers expect this year’s two-weekend event to allow continued growth for girls and boys teams age U10-U19.
This year, after five years of continued growth, organizers have decided to spread the event over two weekends to allow for continued expansion.
Teams from Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Michigan, Iowa, Kansas, and Wisconsin have joined entered previous year's tournaments.
The facilities at the Goebel Soccer Complex are among the best in Indiana. Host of the Indiana State Cup in 2006, it is a state-of-the-art facility with professionally designed Bermuda fields including 6-lighted fields and a championship synthetic astro-play stadium field.
Five other venues around the community also host tournament games for both weekends.
