VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – The 2024 Nexus Championship (NXC), presented by Osaka Hockey, concluded on Tuesday, July 16 after eleven days of competition. The event finished with the Senior NXC, where eight teams of elite athletes gathered over three days at the Virginia Beach Regional Training Center in Virginia Beach, Va.

Athletes from around the country showed off their skills in front of selectors, coaches and fans as they competed for evaluation to further opportunities. Congratulations to all the athletes for their hard work and dedication the last few days.

After finishing first in their respective pools, Rome and Barcelona faced off on Tuesday to see who would be crowned champion of Senior NXC. This year, it was Rome who took home the gold. The final, as well as the rest of the competition throughout the two days, was a promising look into the skill and talent of those athletes looking to continue their growth and participation in field hockey.
