1999 Girls ODP Thanksgiving Interregional Most Competitive in History

Tucson, 1999

With eighteen of twenty-four games decided by one goal, and three games decided by shootouts, the 1999 Girls ODP Interregional in Tucson, Arizona proved to be the most competitive in the history of the program. All four regions brought four regional teams in the 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1985 birth years. In addition, although not eligible for championships, the USSF U16 National Team and the U18 Canadian National Team also participated in the 1982 bracket.

Emphasizing the competitiveness of the competition, no team playing in a regional team-only bracket won all three of their games. Region IV won the championship in the oldest three age groups, with Region II 85s awarded the adidas Championship tee-shirts.

In a tournament format where all games had to have a winner, shootouts were done if the teams were tied at regulation. While no team had a 3-0 record, two regions had particularly successful days. Region III won every game on Thanksgiving, while Region II was perfect on the final day, winning every game with Regional Director Chris Christoffersen in attendance. Presenting championship tee-shirts with Mr. Christoffersen was Mr. Larry Monaco, Vice President of US Youth Soccer.

The teams played on the University of Arizona soccer complex. Adidas provided training gear and equipment for the event. The next event for Girls ODP is the U19 Interregional in Ft. Lauderdale with the US Youth Soccer/adidas Cup event in June in Houston.
