We are delighted to announce the dates of the 2020 Cardiff City FC Foundation & EFL Utilita Mixed U11s Kids Cup in partnership with New Directions Education.
The football tournament is taking place throughout January 2020 and provides primary school children aged between 9-11 with the opportunity to take part in an exciting, competitive and enjoyable tournament.
This much anticipated annual event is a highlight of the sporting academic year for schools across the region. Kelly Storer, Regional Manager for New Directions Education comments “we are delighted to be able to once more support this competition. I am personally overwhelmed each year with the quality of talent we see on the pitch, and the real sense of sportsmanship between the competing teams. We are proud to support the ambitions of Welsh schools in contributing to this”.
The tournament is open to teams from years 5 and 6. Each school can enter two teams, each with a maximum of eight players, with the tournament taking a six-a-side structure with two substitutes per team. Due to the limited number of spaces on the EFL Utilita Mixed Kids Cup tournament, schools can submit up to three teams but only two teams will be guaranteed a space.
