Charity Cup Soccer League
Building community through the game we love – and funding real needs around the world.
Launched in 1997 as a simple fundraiser for humanitarian needs, Charity Cup has grown into a league of soccer tournaments with one clear goal: build communities and raise funds for the ministry’s current needs. In its 28‑year history, the league has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for a wide range of causes, spanned 4 continents, reached 20+ countries, and partnered with hundreds of local churches. Stay tuned to this page for upcoming event announcements, testimonies, and photo galleries.
