Columbus Classic
Welcome to the online headquarters for our 2026 Columbus Classic soccer tournament. We're excited to host you in Columbus!
Thank you for choosing to attend our tournament. The Columbus Classic will host boys and girls teams ages U7 through U16 with games being played on some of the best natural grass soccer fields in all of Nebraska at Wilderness Park Soccer Complex. We will also host some 11v11 games on artificial turf at Pawnee Park's Memorial Stadium.
Our club strives to provide the best soccer tournament experience we can for our guests. Every consideration was made with our schedule to avoid long delays between games or early start times for those traveling from more than an hour from Columbus. While not always perfect due to field and referee availability, rest assured we look at every team's schedule for the weekend to avoid coach conflicts and meet special requests whenever possible.
The City of Columbus will also once again host a special event just for soccer players and coaches on Saturday night at the Pawnee Plunge Water Park. There is no cost for players and coaches to attend (parents and siblings can purchase admission at the soccer complex for just $2).
Below are some important links and information for you to share with your parents and players:

PAWNEE PARK MEMORIAL STADIUM
Located in Pawnee Park in south Columbus, Memorial Stadium was recently resurfaced with brand new artificial turf. At that time, lines were added to allow the facility to now host 11v11 soccer games.
