Croatian-North American Soccer Tournament
The Croatian-North American Soccer Tournament is a soccer tournament established in 1965 to pit North America's Croatian teams against each other. It is traditionally played on the Labor Day weekend to accommodate teams who have to travel long distances. The prize money for winning the tournament is several thousand dollars and the event attracts large Croatian crowds. The dynasties of the competition are Toronto Croatia and Chicago Crven Bijeli Plavi (Chicago Red, White and Blue).
Similar tournaments for Croatian diaspora teams are held in the west coast of North America and in Australia.
