Tournament History
U-12 JUNIOR SOCCER WORLD CHALLENGE 2017
2017 was the 1st year both the winner of the US Qualifier and the SOLTILO World Allstars joined the tournament. A very good Pateadores group from Orange County, CA finished 3rd in a tough group and did not advance to the championship bracket. The SOLTILO World Allstars finished 1st in their group and placed 5th overall. The 2017 final was once again won by FC Barcelona after a hard fought 2-1 game against the JFA All Stars.
