COVID-19 STATEMENT | 2020 TOURNAMENT POSTPONED
We are living in unprecedented times as our Boston community continues to cope with the COVID-19 public health crisis and the various changes to our daily life. Given the current state of our beloved city and the many challenges our neighbors are facing, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the 3rd Annual Boston Unity Cup to Summer 2021. This decision was made in collective conversation with city leadership and community partners.
As we look beyond July, we are happy to announce the launch of two new endeavors to continue our mission of building a stronger Boston through sport and community.
We recognize the important role sport will play in bringing together our community and celebrating diversity once we are safely through this crisis, and the Boston Unity Cup is honored to be a part of that important work.

WBUR | July 15, 2019 The United States women’s team has the ball, working their way down the field. A pass comes into the middle just in front of the goal, and then a blistering shot finds the back of the net. The team mobs the scorer in celebration. Goal, USA. But this isn’t the World Cup.
