Copa del Rave is to make its anticipated return in Los Angeles on November 2 from 3 PM-8 PM at Evolve Project LA. Eight teams are competing for what is known as the loudest trophy in world soccer: The Copa del Rave.

Having first launched in April 2019 in LA, the Copa del Rave strives to draw the global electronic music community together to play soccer, while also raising money for charity. Co-founders of the tournament, Alastair Duncan, Jonathan McDonald, and Ardalan say, “We’re truly grateful for all the teams and DJs participating, who are willing to get out there and play for a good cause.” 

The teams battling for this year’s trophy will include CREATE Music Group, Capitol Music Group, Downtown Music, INFAMOUS, Red Light Management, Symphonic Distribution, Your Army/ATC, and The Free Agents. 

Each participating team is required to donate in order to compete, and the winning team will pick the charity that will be granted this year’s donation. In its previous three tournaments, this event has raised over $40,000 in charity donations for the LA mission, MusicCares and Give a Beat, while also featuring stars like Diplo, The Chainsmokers, GG Magree, Wax Motif, TEED, and more. Last year’s winner was Kappa, while the previous two editions were won by Red Light Management. 

The confirmed DJ players for December will include Copa co-founder Ardalam, TEED, Zomboy, Xie, Zen Freeman, EDDIE, Borgore, and many more that are yet to be revealed.
