Electrolit becomes first presenting sponsor in Finals’ history as tournament celebrates its 25th anniversary

TAMPA, Fla. – USL Youth, a part of the United Soccer League (USL), today announced the 2024 Electrolit USL Youth Finals will be played at the Tournament Sportsplex of Tampa Bay in Hillsborough County, Fla., on December 13-17. 

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the 2024 Electrolit USL Youth Finals will feature 140 teams from across the United States competing for national championships in U-12 through U-19 boys and girls divisions as the culmination of the 2024 season.

This year’s tournament will be the first under the new USL Youth banner, which was unveiled in January as the foundation of the United Soccer League’s youth-to-pro pathway. New league partner Electrolit – the preferred, premium hydration beverage scientifically formulated with pharmaceutical grade quality ingredients – will be the Finals’ first presenting partner in its history. 

“We are thrilled to welcome Electrolit as the presenting sponsor for a historic moment in USL Youth’s evolution,” said USL Senior Vice President of Youth & Pre-Professional Joel Nash. “In the 25 years of USL Youth’s history, the league has showcased some outstanding teams and individual talent to compete at Finals. This year promises to be no exception, and we are delighted to host the players, coaches and supporters at the Tournament Sportplex of Tampa Bay for this landmark in the USL’s history.”

As part of the event, Electrolit will feature activations around the Players’ Village alongside other league partners, and provide instant and reliable hydration for youth athletes.

Since its launch in 1999, the USL Youth Finals has provided a platform for some remarkable young talent that has gone on to compete at the highest levels of the professional game. Among them are the likes of current United States Men’s National Team players Tyler Adams (Ironbound SC) and Joe Scally (Long Island Rough Riders), who competed in the USL prior to their current professional careers in the Premier League and Bundesliga, respectively.

Bids for the 2024 Electrolit USL Youth Finals will be announced on Monday, Aug. 12.
