A quarterly futsal tournament where 150+ kids play across four divisions — from all-girls comps for 5-year-olds to the senior secondary tournament.

The Challenge Cup is a dynamic futsal tournament that takes place four times a year. More than 150 kids take part across four divisions — designed so players of different ages and skill levels can grow their game and their love for the sport.

The senior tournament caters to secondary-aged participants (14+) — often the stepping stone to more competitive futsal and football. The junior competitions include all-girls tournaments for ages 5–8 and 9–12, and all-boys tournaments for ages 5–9 and 10–13.

It's competitive, it's loud, and it's one of the best days on the Home Ground calendar — every quarter of the year.
