On June 27th, CNCPTS took over Ballers Boston Seaport for the first-ever CNCPTS Cup Powered by Nike — a 4v4 soccer tournament built for the city, by the city.

Six neighborhoods stepped onto the pitch to represent: East Boston, South Boston, South End, Jamaica Plain, Dorchester, and Cambridge. The tournament ran on a two-group round-robin format leading into a final, which meant every team played real, meaningful games all day long -  no early exits, no early goodbyes. When the dust settled, East Boston came out on top, taking home the 2026 CNCPTS Cup.

But soccer was only part of the story. From 11AM to 5PM, Ballers was fully transformed into a CNCPTS x Nike arena with activities and giveaways for guests and players.

A live DJ kept the soundtrack going non-stop, and in between matches, the crowd found their way to the standout attractions of the day: a player card vendor, an airbrush tattoo station, and a custom jersey setup with limited-run pieces that went fast. Somewhere along the way, custom Nike and CNCPTS popsicles became the favorite of the entire event.

What stuck with us most, though, was the feeling. Teams, families, and supporters packed in and stayed the whole day, and the energy never dipped from the first kickoff to the last. More than a tournament, it felt like Boston's neighborhoods showing up for each other.

None of it would have been possible without our community sponsors - @bredgourmet, @bignight, @huntersboston, @shojoboston, @sportandleisurepvd, and @eva__boston - whose support helped us give back $10,000 to the Boys & Girls Club of Boston.

Thank you to Nike for powering the Cup, to Ballers for hosting us, and to every team, family, and fan who came through and made it a day worth remembering.
