Five-a-side footy back again

The annual Rarotonga five-a-side soccer competition will kick off next month and will run for ten weeks.

There are two divisions in this year’s competition – men’s and women’s. As usual, the two competitions are the round cup (league) and the knockout competition. In a few weeks, players on Rarotonga will come together for more fun but competitive five-a-side soccer games that will take place at the CIFA complex in Matavera.

This competition will be vital for all players looking to be part of the Pacific Games soccer squad in both the men’s and women’s team, as they can use the competition as preparations and to sharpen their football skills for the games.

The five-a-side tournament will also include a one day tournament where teams will be split into two pools and playoff eliminations will determine the two finalists for the day.

Club teams and business house teams are encouraged to enter a team and there will be great cash prizes up for grabs.

Team numbers for this year’s five a side competition are limited so be in quick and register a team. The registration fee for a team is $100 and registrations close on Thursday, March 10.
