RYSA and its partners in the Richmond soccer community regularly host invitational soccer events, provincial and national soccer championships, and special soccer events. See www.richmondsoccerevents.com for recent and future soccer events in Richmond.
We are proud to have hosted the Canadian National Boys All-Star Championships in July 2009.
Every year, BC Soccer sponsors two provincial tournaments, the “Provincial (or A) Cup” for Select League and U-13 Gold teams and the “BCSA (or B) Cup” (for all other teams). Most Richmond teams enter the “B Cup” on ‘the road to the provincial finals’. Only one team qualifies for the B Cup from Richmond, so it’s single knock-out until just one team is left, and they advance to play down against other districts, and hopefully make it through to the provincial finals next July.
Congratulations to the teams which will represent Richmond in the 2010 Cup starting in March.

For more than 50 years, Richmond's
soccer season has wrapped up with the 'Richmond Cup' tournament.And the tradition continues
this year. On Saturday March 13th and Sunday 14th, Under
13 to Under 18 Richmond teams played for the Richmond Cup, as 1,200 micro, mini, Under
11 and Under 12 teams had their end of season jamboree.
The Richmond Cup is a
traditional Challenge Cup competition to end the season. It is straight
knock-out, with a random draw, no seeding, among all Richmond teams other than
Select League and Gold teams. It is a totally separate competition from the
league, similar to the English FA Cup, Spanish Copa del Rey or Copa do Brasil.
The BOYS Thanksgiving Tournament will take place on October 9 and 10, 2010. Games will be played at various fields in Richmond. Tournament is for Gold, Silver and Bronze teams in the following age groups U11, U12, U13, U14, U15, U16, U17, U18.
