Football
Our football event is the largest component of the Tournament drawing over 35 teams each year - a fantastic line-up of both boys and girls teams competing from around the world. It's a great competition for teams of all levels and in the real spirit of the “World Game”. Goals, goals, goals – there are extra points for goals as we want you to play exciting and attacking football. Penalty shootouts? Absolutely the last resort.
