MSSA Cups

The Maryland cup tradition has a long and rich history that goes back more than a century. The Rowland Cup is Maryland's oldest cup competition, first played in 1914, and is the state's open championship. The Stewart Cup began in 1932 for teams vying for the state's amateur title. The Morton Cup was created to honor former MSSA Vice President Darwin "Lefty" Morton and is for teams not competing in either the Rowland or Stewart Cup. We also offer the Maryland Over-30, Over-40 & Over-50 Cups. Our teams also are eligible to play tournaments organized by our leagues and other US Adult Soccer members.
Ristozi with Cup Double Christos Repeats with O-40
(16 March) It is a Maryland double for Ristozi FC after their shutout of Steel Pulse FC 3:0 in the Rowland Cup final. It is a unique double as they lifted the state's oldest competition, the Rowland, and the youngest, the Maryland-District Cup. After a scoreless first half, Ristozi poured three goals from Taichi Nogami, Donail Elshani and Barth Yakkarn. The Rowland goes back to 1914, is the state's oldest competition and is the open championship of Maryland.
The Maryland Over-40 Cup is a more recent championship, established in 2018. Throughout this competition, there has been only one title holder, Christos FC. Once again, Christos came through in the final, defeating AAC United 2:0. Val Texeira recorded the match winner converting a penalty in the first half and Brian Walters sealed it in the 89th. Christos will host the Ukrainian Nationals next month in the Region I quarterfinals.
We have one more to go, the Over-50 Cup. Semifinals at MLK Park with the first set featuring the Baltimore Kickers and OG Soccer FC at noon. It will be followed by Christos against Old Timers FC. The final to take place on 30 March. Stay tuned to this site for all updates, results and news about Maryland cup. Visit us on Twitter @marylandsoccer and Instagram at maryland.state.soccer.
