Korean American Soccer Tournament

Korean American Soccer Tournament (KAST) is an annual soccer tournament hosted by the AKP Sports Foundation (AKP Sports).

First launched in 2022 in New Jersey, it organized the largest Korean American college soccer tournament to date, featuring 10 university soccer teams and attracting over 400 participants. The inaugural event received substantial coverage from national and global media.

The most recent KAST event, 2024 KAST, took place on April 13th at Wards Island Park in Manhattan, NYC. It featured eight soccer teams representing 15 colleges, drawing a significant number of participants and spectators.

AKP Sports plans to uphold this tradition by hosting KAST events annually across the United States. These events serve as a platform for Korean American college students, alumni, and young professionals nationwide to come together, network, and unite through the power of sports.
