Famously headquartered in Camden for decades, and in Philadelphia at the time of that tournament:

#OTD in #USOpenCup history (Oct. 21, 1916): Veteran AA beats Victor Talking Machine Co. 6-0 in the opening round of the 1916/17 tournament. Nothing interesting about the game, but we just like to point out that this tournament is old enough to have had Victor Talking Machine Co. as a team sponsor

Today in #USOpenCup history (Oct. 21, 2000): #cf97 win their 2nd trophy in 3 yrs, beating Miami Fusion 2-1 at Soldier Field. In the 44th min, Hristo Stoichkov became the 1st former World POY to score a USOC goal. Tyrone Marshall's 88th min. own goal proved to be the GWG for @chicagofire.bsky.social

After abstaining from the first six National Challenge Cup tournaments, 1920 was the first year teams from St. Louis participated in the tournament we now know as the US Open Cup. The "Hatters" of Ben Millers won it all. Article by @chucknolanjr.bsky.social: thecup.us/2026/10/20/s...

THE MAGIC OF THE US OPEN CUP

If it wasn't for the 20-1 win or New Amsterdam return, this match might have been the most talked about of the 2027 US Open Cup Second Qualifying Round. A must-read from @battista.bsky.social detailing the chaos of SC Vistula Garfield beating FC Motown on a rainy New Jersey night. #USOC2027

ADVANCED! After a tough bout of competition, @chicagohouseac.bsky.social is the lone wolf for the MWPL in their fight to make the U.S. Open Cup. House defeated Ethos Academy in Extra Time after backup GK Gabe Zorrilla stepped up and delivered the game-winning goal. Our journey continues. 🏆
