US Soccer plans a new national women's club competition called the Arthur M. Blank Crest Cup with a $1.5 million prize pool.
US Soccer announced a new national women's club competition that will include teams from the National Women's Soccer League and the Gainbridge Super League. The competition, called the Arthur M. Blank Crest Cup, will feature a $1.5 million prize pool and will be a single-elimination tournament serving as both a national championship and a pathway to qualification for the CONCACAF W Champions Cup.
U.S. Soccer president Cindy Parlow Cone said the federation is working closely with both leagues to determine the optimal timing for the competition. She noted that both leagues are collaborating to make it happen. No launch date has yet been announced.
Parlow Cone indicated that the competition could eventually expand beyond the two professional leagues to include lower division professional teams and amateur women's teams, similar to the men's U.S. Open Cup. She said U.S. Soccer is still putting the pieces together and that the tournament may evolve from its initial format.
