The 5th Fair Play Cheap Thrills Futsal Soccer Competition is happening once again at Clifton Tennis Club opposite Clifton Hill station on Saturday October 24.
The 16 team tournament raises funds, on and off pitch, for Happy Football Cambodia Australia and the Collingwood Allstars Football program. The mixed teams come from all corners of the local community, making it a fun and active day for everyone!
With a bar, coffee shop and café and music keeping the players and supporters warm whilst also contributing to the fund raising, the day long competition boasts some great prizes and strong support including The City of Yarra.
Kicking off at midday, the teams are competing for the Etiko trophy, and the games are overseen by referees from FutsalOz.
