Metro Detroit, it’s time to settle the score
Detroit Metro FC is putting $10,000 on the line for one reason: to find out who really owns Michigan soccer. 7v7 style.
This isn’t an invite-only tournament. This isn’t about who you know. This is pure merit.
We’re calling out every club, every crew, every baller from Hamtramck to Grand Rapids, from rec league heroes to travel team legends. One team will fight their way through the bracket. The prize? A shot at DMFC. Under the lights. In our house. In front of our fans.
Win? You walk out $10,000 richer. Lose? You walk off knowing who runs this state.
This is the first event of its kind — and it’s happening right here in the beating heart of the Midwest. Metro Detroit is ground zero. And we’re not just raising the bar. We’re daring you to clear it.
