San Bernardino, CA — The 2013 Girls of California United FC delivered a historic championship performance over the weekends of February 14–15 and February 21, 2026, battling through top competition in San Bernardino to claim the prestigious Cal South National Cup title.
California United opened tournament play with a strong 3–1 victory over Central Coast Surf. Miley Morales led the charge with a goal and an assist, while Siani Lomeli and Alessandra Padilla each added a goal to secure the win and a 1–0–0 start.
The team faced adversity in game two, falling 1–0 to Oceanside Breakers to move to 1–1–0 in group play. But the setback only fueled their determination heading into the championship match.
In a highly anticipated rematch against Oceanside Breakers, California United rose to the occasion. Goals from Siani Lomeli and Miley Morales powered a 2–1 victory, clinching the championship and closing the tournament with a 2–1–0 record.
With the win, California United FC has earned a berth to compete at the 2026 US Youth Soccer National Championships from July 16–23, an accomplishment no other CUFC team has ever achieved. In fact, no other team in the club’s history has captured a Cal South National Cup title, making this run truly historic.
Head Coach Jose Luis Lomeli and Coach Tony Mendez expressed immense pride in the group’s achievement. Having played together for years, the team’s growth, resilience, and chemistry have been on full display. Their development both on and off the field has shaped them into champions.
While this victory marks a pinnacle moment, it is also bittersweet, as some players prepare to pursue new opportunities beyond their small-town roots. No matter where the game takes them next, they will always share the bond of being the first team in club history to bring home a National Cup - and now, to represent California United FC on the national stage.
