The first set of players in contention for the inaugural Allstate All-America Cup – held the summer of 2019 in Orlando, Fla., in conjunction with the Major League All-Star Game – has been officially named.

The event, spearheaded by Allstate as an attempt to highlight current juniors and rising stars, will featured 40 girls, who will then be split into two teams. The match will be streamed on ESPNU and the ESPN app.

In all, 125 male and 125 female players will receive Allstate All-America recognition before their respective gameday rosters are trimmed down. On Tuesday, the first 75 for each gender were announced, with a later group set to be announced this coming spring.
