Himalayan Cup Soccer Tournament
Annual Soccer Championship
Spring / Late Winter
The Himalayan Sherpa Club hosts the Annual Labor Day Soccer Tournament, a two-day event that brings together soccer teams from both within and outside the state.
About the Tournament
The Himalayan Cup is a prestigious soccer tournament organized by the Himalayan Sherpa Club of Sonoma. Originally held during Labor Day weekend, the tournament has been rescheduled to spring or late winter since 2023 to ensure player safety and prevent heat-related incidents due to rising temperatures caused by climate change.
Tournament Format
The tournament brings together soccer teams from across California and beyond, featuring competitive matches over two exciting days. Teams compete for the coveted Himalayan Cup trophy, with categories for different age groups including youth and adult divisions.
Community Spirit
Beyond the competition, the Himalayan Cup serves as a gathering point for Himalayan communities from across the region. Spectators enjoy food vendors, cultural displays, and the opportunity to connect with friends and family from other cities.
