Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox football tournament The Cosmos Copa, originally called Copa NYC, was an amateur adult soccer tournament played in New York City between teams representing different ethnic heritages in a World Cup-style competition.[1]

History

The competition was founded in 2009 by local soccer fans Spencer Dormitzer and Chris Noble.[2] In 2010, the newly-established New York Cosmos took over the tournament, which continued to be run by its founders.[3] The Copa was renamed for the professional club as part of the deal.[4]

The tournament was "postponed" in 2016 and has not been held since.[5]

Format

In its most recent format, thirty-two teams competed in the Cosmos Copa.[6] Teams were made up of amateur players over 18 years old and living in the Tri-State area, representing their national heritage; every player must either be from, or have parents who are from, the country they represent. [7]

The format began with a round robin Group Stage, followed by a Round of 16, Quarterfinals, Semifinals and a Championship match.[7]
