The Ultimate Soccer Weekend
DATES: December 19th – 21st, 2025
LOCATION: Miami Beach
The Maccabi Cup is a multi-day, multi-surface (beach and turf) soccer tournament and community celebration that brings together athletes, families, Maccabi USA alumni, and supporters from across the country. Blending lighthearted competition with meaningful Jewish experiences, the event serves as a hub for talent recruitment and community engagement. Timed around the final nights of Hanukkah, the weekend goes beyond the game, with a Friday night community dinner, Hanukkah programming, and a Shabbat beach party that unites our entire Maccabi family in celebration and connection.
