RALEIGH, N.C. – The visitRaleigh Showcase Series, North Carolina FC Youth’s four-weekend run of elite tournament competition, begins this weekend with the Girls Junior Showcase from November 7-8. Hundreds of teams from across the country will gather at WRAL Soccer Park and venues around the Raleigh area.

The Girls Junior Showcase is open to U10-U14 girls teams at the elite and classic levels. Each team gets a three-game group stage followed by a championship match, so every team plays multiple competitive games against out-of-region opponents. A total of 292 teams will play in the Girls Junior Showcase.

Teams in these younger age groups come from all the nation’s top leagues, including the ECNL and Pre-ECNL, Girls Academy, and National League 1. The NCFC Youth Showcase Series provides teams with a major opportunity to gain valuable experience in high-level tournament action, as they prepare to play in college showcase events in future seasons.

Overall, the 2026 NCFC Youth visitRaleigh Showcase Series will host over 1,500 teams over the course of four weekends. Attending clubs hail from 23 states, as well as Argentina and Canada.
