The third round of Rarotonga football competition 2024 kicks off today at 4.15 pm, featuring our young grassroots stars, the U6s, U8s, and U10s mixed teams, on CIFA Field 1.

Simultaneously, all U12 mixed matches will take place on CIFA Field 2.

These action-packed games are always a delight to watch, and last week it was heartening to see the players’ parents, grandparents, and siblings cheering them on at CIFA.

Support shown give the young stars that extra boost in moral. The enthusiasm and excitement on the field are contagious, creating an atmosphere of pure joy and passion for the sport.

Rounding off the first day of Round 3 matches will be the U18 Men’s clash between Puaikura FC and Tupapa Maraerenga FC.

Both teams will be eager to secure the maximum game points today after their respective losses to Avatiu and Titikaveka last week. With both sides looking to bounce back, this match is sure to be engaging and full of determination.
