The field for the FHSAA soccer state tournament is set!

FHSAA brackets were unveiled on Friday in a YouTube broadcast.

19 girls teams and 12 boys teams from Palm Beach County qualified for the 2023 state tournament and will now vie to make a run to the state championships at Spec Martin Stadium in DeLand.

Four district champions and four at-large bids, determined via the FHSAA's power rankings algorithm, qualified in each region.

District champions are guaranteed to host in the opening round unless they draw a higher-seeded district champion.
