Picture of 2021 Clash of the Carolinas event
The Clash of the Carolinas is the nation's only interstate prep soccer all-star event. The 2023 event will be held at WakeMed Soccer Park's Koka Booth Stadium in Cary, N.C. WakeMed Soccer Park is home to the USL League One North Carolina FC and the NWSL NC Courage.
Founded in 2007, the match annually features the top boys and girls graduated seniors from North Carolina and South Carolina. The 2007-2015 matches were played at MUSC Health (Blackbaud) Stadium, the former home of the Charleston Battery of the USL Championship, on Daniel Island, S.C. The 2016 event was staged at Raleigh's Cardinal Gibbons High School, so this marks the sixth Summer that the "Triangle" has hosted The Clash. The 2020 event was canceled due to the Coronavirus.
Players partcipating MUST BE AVAILABLE for the entire event. No exceptions for graduations, senior trips, college orientations/classes, etc. Players report to Cardinal Gibbons HS at 11 am on Friday, June 23.
