On August 4th, SSUSA Philadelphia held its first Annual Philadelphia Neighborhood Cup presented by JKJ. The tournament took place at the Street Soccer Park in Kensington, Philadelphia. Thirty teams came together to compete from across the city as well as Program Affiliates from Washington DC and long time supporter, Councilman Mark Squilla. The competition and community spirit was nothing short of spectacular as over 120 youth came out to Show Up and Play with Heart against their peers. It was a true celebration and showcase of the community build in Philadelphia.
