SUPPORTING WOMEN IN SOCCER
Special Guests: ICONS FROM THE 1985 USWNT
As part of the celebration, the Legendary Women’s Cup will host exclusive talks and presentations from trailblazers in women’s soccer. We are honored to welcome three members of the original 1985 U.S. Women’s National Team, affectionately known as “The 85ers.”
These women were part of the very first squad chosen to represent the United States in international play. Their passion and perseverance helped set the stage for every generation of U.S. Women’s National Team players that followed.
At the Legendary Women’s Cup, the 85ers will share stories from their pioneering journey, reflect on the growth of women’s soccer around the world, and inspire new generations to lead

Supporting SOCCER FOR ALL
This year Legendary Women's Cup is proud to partner with the Special Olympics. Help us give back by volunteering to assist the special Olympics participants in a special introduction to soccer. This group has not done soccer before so they are thrilled to have the 85ers introduce them to what soccer is.
