The United Premier Soccer League is excited to formally announce the Spring 2024 UPSL National Finals host venue, as well as upcoming dates for all four Spring Regional Finals. This season, Highmark Stadium, located inside the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, in the city’s historic Square Station entertainment district, will host the UPSL National Finals for the first-time ever. Overlooking the city of Pittsburgh’s’ Monongohela River, the 5’000-seat stadium has been called by BBC Radio, “one of the most beautiful stadiums ever seen.”
