In the U13 and U14 NorCal State Cup, just eight teams remain in each division as action returns this weekend for the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds. Each team still alive knows that one loss will see them out of the competition, while a win will see them live another day.
Here are your games of the week:
| U13 Boys State Cup |
| 3/21 | Stockton TLJ |  | 11:40 a.m. @ Turlock Regional Sports Complex #6 |  | CV Futbol Academy |
| Defending California Cup champions CV Futbol Academy are looking to make it back to the State Cup final after falling in that stage last year, and so far they've seemingly made no mistakes in any of their five matches. CV have scored 34 goals while allowing just one, however, they'll face a tough foe in Stockton TLJ. Stockton have scored 38 goals in five State Cup games and come into the match with the pedigree of having won the Fall NPL East.

| U13 Girls State Cup |
| 3/21 | AC Marin |  | 11:40 a.m. @ Turlock Regional Sports Complex #7 |  | Rocklin FC |
| AC Marin are in the middle of an all-timer of a season, so far going undefeated in State Cup and the Winter League. Meanwhile, they currently sit in first place of the ECNL RL with a perfect 11-0-0 record. After falling on penalties in the semifinals last year, they're looking to come out of this weekend by making it one stage farther in 2026. Meanwhile, Rocklin FC have yet to concede a goal in State Cup play and are coming off of a fall season in which they earned a shot in the spring NPL 1 division due to their strong record. |
