Welcome to the web page for the 20 th annual adidas Evergreen International Tournament . This year's tournament will be held on July 19-22 nd in Burlington, WA. We are excited to announce the world famous Celtic Football Club will be coming to the Tournament again this year to conduct both a week-long camp and a special clinic during the Tournament weekend. Don't miss out on a great opportunity to meet former Celtic players, watch them in action, and learn to ‘Train & Play the Celtic Way' at the Evergreen Tournament.

We are also expecting the Brazil soccer team from the city of Sao Roque to join us again as they did in 2005. Those who were there can attest to the excitement of their style of play and level of competition. Hundreds of spectators lined the field to watch them play each of their games.

We expect to have about the same number of teams applying for the tournament this year as applied last year (approximately 200). Hotel space is very limited in the Burlington/Mt. Vernon area so you should make your travel arrangements early (see the link titled Hotel Info for phone numbers and contacts.) If you are an out of state team, we will review your application as soon as it is received and give you an answer regarding your acceptance within two weeks. We understand the difficulty of making travel arrangement so please apply early and provide us the information we will need to evaluate your team for inclusion.

Burlington, a small rural community located about 75 miles North of the Seattle-Tacoma Airport provides a beautiful setting and some of the best fields in the state. We are very excited about holding our tournament for the sixth year running at this outstanding field of dreams where the City of Burlington continues to make improvements to the Skagit Soccer Complex . There are plenty of beaches, ferries, markets, bike trails, hiking and sightseeing to occupy your time.

We once again will discount the registration fee by $100 per team if 3 or more teams from the same out of state club participates.
