Manhattan SC make US Open Cup debut this Wednesday in the Bronx

New York City is no stranger to the US Open Cup. Since Brooklyn Field Club won the inaugural National Challenge Cup in 1914, a total of 16 other teams have lifted the trophy. Countless more clubs have played matches within the city for the tournament that has come to be known as the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup.

This week, that tradition continues. The 108th edition of the US Open Cup kicks off across the country with lower league teams facing off in the First Round. This year, only one of those amateur squads calls the city home.
