On Friday the 3rd of September the AIB held its first annual AIB Soccer Cup at the Hofgarten.

The Cup consisted of 65 players split into 8 teams. The teams were made up of a mixture of students from the four programs that are studying at the AIB at the moment. The programs include Loyola Marymount Film, Loyola Marymount Engineering, Loyola Marymount New Europe Program, and a landscape program from Texas A&M University.

The tournament's first round games were played "round robin" style with the 8 teams split into 2 brackets of 4 teams each. The top two teams from each bracket moved onto the semifinal round.

After the semifinal games the two winning teams moved onto the finals (Team Awesome vs. Team 2 Better Than You). Team Awesome was Victorious with a final score of 2-0, which made them the first champions ever of the AIB Soccer Cup. The next day, all of the teams were awarded with certificates at the AIB Welcome Party BBQ. A trophy was also awarded that day to the champions.
