The Generation adidas Cup is a U17 tournament run by MLS here in the Metroplex at the same time as - and with some assistance from - the Dallas Cup. The GA Cup consists of two tiers of teams - the Champions Division and the Premier Division - made up of MLS U17 Academy sides and invited foreign clubs. In North Texas, the GA Cup perhaps takes a back seat to the Dallas Cup in fame and awareness, but the GA Cup is a big deal for the league and its clubs.
Each year, Major League Soccer has enlarged the GA Cup and tried to create a greater emphasis on its own tournament.
