What is it?

It is a soccer tournament for U10 and U11 boys. It is played in Ottawa, yet mirrors the FIFA event for that year in every conceivable way. It is a celebration of soccer culture, competition and excellence. This year the FIFA event is hosted by Germany. Our local version includes these highlights:

• 32 teams, 16 for U10 and 16 for U11 (may be extended to 48 teams if interest is high);
• separate groups for Premier Ontario and AA in Quebec, Division 1 in Ontario and A in Quebec;
  
• play is 7-aside mini soccer;
• minimum of four games per team over two days;
• all matches are played in one location, the Potvin Fields at Shefford Park in East Ottawa;
• all games have three officials, including ARs to run the sidelines;
• teams adopt a country that plays in the actual FIFA event that year;
• players get to keep the jersey of their adopted country; and
• teams and coaches are honoured in a parade of athletes.
