In building his custom jersey Icarus FC over the past four years, Robbie Smukler has held onto the idea in the back of his head of hosting a weekend tournament in Philadelphia with teams all wearing his company’s designs.
That idea became a reality over the weekend with the first ever Icarus Cup at Drexel University’s Vidas Athletic Complex.
Forty-one teams gathered for the weekend event and all wore Icarus FC designs for the 7v7 tournament, which was put on in partnership with local adult league CASA Soccer.
