CARY, N.C. (WTVD) -- The Soccer Tournament (TST) will return to North Carolina a little earlier this year due to the World Cup.

The star-studded TST 7v7 World Championship offers $1 million winner-take-all prizes for men and women.

When is TST?



Dates: Wednesday, May 27 through Monday, June 1
Location: WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary.

How to score tickets



Pre-sale tickets begin at 9 a.m. on Feb. 24.

The State of North Carolina awarded a $6.8 Million grant to keep TST in Cary through 2029.



The partnership is supported by a grant from the NC Department of Commerce's Major Events, Games, and Attractions Fund.

The fund will reimburse eligible in-state expenses up to $6.8 million for the duration of the agreement.

"Our staff, our volunteers, and our citizens always show up and take pride in making visitors feel welcome. The State's investment is a recognition of that and how amazing our facilities are. We're proud to keep hosting The Soccer Tournament and to continue sharing this experience with our community and the world for years to come," said Cary Mayor Harold Weinbrect.

Last year, Bumpy Pitch FC won the men's division, and the US Women took the women's crown. Both teams took home $1 million prizes.
