2026 Detroit Charity Cup

Legacy Center, 9299 Goble Dr, Brighton, MI 48116
October 30, 2026

1997 - 2026. The legacy is still being build as we are getting closer to a monumental milestone.

Charity Cup soccer tournaments exist to unite the Romanian community while inspiring it to support both our local communities and the missionaries efforts across the world. Moldova, Romania, Tanzania, Cuba, Honduras, Brazil are just some of the places Charity Cup has had mission trips throughout the years. But God is still calling us to serve in our local church. Through God's guidance, we pray that in the future years all Romanian Churches (and not only) will have a Sports Ministry within the church, ran by the youth with the purpose of making Jesus known to their local communities. That vision transcends rivalries while igniting a “holy” fire to compete with fair-play and win with purpose.

FORMAT: we will follow the UEFA European League format. Best Teams go to Champions League, then Europa League, then Conference League. This way all teams will eventually compete against teams of similar skill level and will have a fighting chance to win a Trophy. Expect to have games until Saturday @ 8PM. Teams/Players that will not be present for the final stages will not be allowed to come back to Charity Cup. It's all about RESPECT for the COMPETITION.

IMPORTANT: Trophies will be offered for the winners of each league + FAIR PLAY award to be counted at the same importance as 1st place winners for the team that shows great Integrity and Respect for our Christian Values.
