Four youth teams from Eastern Pennsylvania were crowned regional champions on Thursday in Loudoun County, Virginia.

The FC Delco NAL 2006 boys team – already National Academy League champions – added a regional championship to their tally in a 3-1 win over JA Elite in Thursday’s final. The regional championship is the first for an FC Delco side since the Hammerheads won the U-19 crown in 2010.

1776 United overcame a 1-0 deficit to beat the Player Progression Academy 2-1 in the U-15 girls final on Thursday and repeat as regional champions.

Two PA Classics Harrisburg (Formerly Penn FC Youth) teams picked up their second regional crowns on Thursday. The 2007 girls team won their second title with a 4-0 win over NYCFC Girls. The final was the team’s third straight. They lost in the final last year. The 2008 girls team – 2022 regional champions – picked up their second regional trophy in a Keystone Derby final by the score of 4-3 over North Union United Valor.

The four regional champions and North Union United all have qualified for the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships being held in Orlando July 22-27.
