Students, fans and faculty gathered for the Second Annual Friendship Cup, April 22
at the WVU Student Recreation Fields, to cheer on the eight teams in the single
elimination competition. Matches took place in overlapping times while WVU Men’s
and Women’s Soccer student-athletes served as referees. Winning team members from
the lowest seed of the tournament, Elite FC, received gift cards and championship
hats, along with bragging rights until next year’s event.
The friendly competition promotes team spirit and brings students and faculty from
across campus together to celebrate the alliance of the international sport. The
spring event acts as a prelude to the popular Diversity Cup that will take place
in October 2022.
