Nati SC will be back in the 2024 edition of the Soccer Tournament (TST). They will be tasked with coming out of group play against high-profile opponents.
Natty SC will face The Concafa SC, produced by ESPN talk show host Pat McAfee, and Burnley FC, the English soccer club's brand whose shares are owned by former NFL star JJ Watt.
The name “Concafa SC” is a play on McAfee's misinterpretation of the acronym “CONCACAF.” CONCACAF is FIFA's governing body for soccer in North, Central America and the Caribbean. CONCACAF also hosts the Champions Cup, with FC Cincinnati participating this year.
The 2024 TST will be held June 5-10 in Cary, North Carolina, and two $1 million prizes will be awarded.
Nati SC boasts the participation of some of the world's biggest soccer clubs and brands, making up FC Cincinnati's presence at the tournament, once again featuring some of the club's most famous former stars, as well as Cincinnati Bengals legends; It consists of Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson.
Nati SC will be coached by Tori Huster, a Cincinnati native and St. Ursula Academy graduate who currently serves as president of the National Women's Soccer League Players Association (NWSLPA). Her addition as coach may raise some questions about her interest in bringing the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) to the Cincinnati area.
In 2023, Nati SC was led by former MLS Cup champion and fan favorite Omar Cummings. Cummings played for FC Cincinnati in 2016 and 2017 when it was a third- and second-division club in the United Soccer League, and remains involved in FCC's radio broadcasts and the club's community outreach department.
