Congratulations to Battle Creek FC for winning the 2025 (and first-ever) Capitol Cup!! All the teams played hard for a weekend of great soccer! From their skills and the support of everyone who contributed, we were able to raise $1000 for the Karenni-American Association to help build a school and benefit the IDP. Thank you to everyone for your generosity!!

We would also like to thank all the people who made this event possible, especially Nya Htoo for his tireless efforts in organizing this tournament, the players who played their hearts out, the team captains for their leadership, all of the refs, staff, photographers, and supporters for braving the heat, KnA for all of their amazing work helping Karenni communities across the country, A4L.productions for making the awesome video, the MSU Men's Club soccer team, the 1GOL board, and finally, Greater Lansing Open Soccer for sponsoring the event.
