We're happy to introduce Cosmos Copa NYC, an amateur adult soccer tournament, supported by New York City and held from June to July every year since 2009. Cosmos Copa was created to bring New Yorkers together to enjoy the city's rich cultural diversity through the spectacle of soccer. Every national team practices hard and plays hard. This is a dream occasion for many amateur soccer players and a highlight of the NYC annual calendar. 24 national teams played last year.
