In 2023, inspired by the success of the Philadelphia International Unity Cup, Lancaster Rec launched the inaugural Lancaster Unity Cup, bringing the spirit of global unity to Lancaster County. This groundbreaking event gathers community members from around the world together through the universal language of soccer in a World Cup-style tournament.
More than just a game, the Lancaster Unity Cup serves as a dynamic platform for fostering community connection, cultural exchange, and leadership development.
