It is here again!
NEFC 2021 World Cup - 9 a side carnival for NEFC U6-U12's.
An in-house 2-3 hour competition for three age groups: U6/7/8, U9/10 and U11/12.
Please register Players individually. Players will be seeded based on their age
group and level of their current NEFC team and then drawn into teams. Last time
this method ensured a fair draw and very even teams which was good for all.
Each player will
play for 1 of 12 World Cup nations (eg. Brazil, France or Australia etc.). For
age group U9/10 there will be two groups of 4 teams; for age groups U6/7/8 and
U11/12 there will be three groups of 4 teams. All teams are guaranteed at least
4 games (3 group stage games and a knockout). All players will play full games
- there are no subs.
All elimination
finals, quarterfinals, semifinals, 3rd place playoff and World Cup Final will,
in case of a draw, be decided via a penalty shootout (5 penalty kicks from each
team).
Awards for World Cup winners, 2nd place and 3rd place. Also individual trophy
for Player of the World Cup for each of the three age group competitions..
We are hoping for enough players to make it a 9 aside competition- but final
participant numbers will determine; could be more players per team, could be
less.
The club’s U13-U18 players will ref and coach the teams. There will be two
coaches for each team - this worked really well last time and was a great
experience for both coaches and players.
The short and sweet format, friendly World Cup atmosphere and penalty shootouts
deciding finals are just some of the things that have made our own World Cup a
great little tradition.
Get in and enjoy!
