While the best players in the world compete for the FIFA World Cup in South Africa, Aberdeen Sports Village will capture the sheer enjoyment of football with its own mini World Cup.
Running from 7 June to early July, the themed tournament will offer aspiring stars of the future an opportunity to play 7-a-side football in one of the best indoor venues in Scotland.
Teams will play in group stages and then hopefully progress to the knockout stage and perhaps the final itself.
There will be Mini World Cup tournaments for the following age groups:
Under 9s and Primary 4s
Under 10s and Primary 5s
Under 11 and Primary 6s
Under 12s and Primary 7s
Girls Under 12s (any primary year group)
Matches will be played from 6 pm and will finish no later than 9 pm (8.30 pm for the Primary 5s and under).
The cost is £25 per team and this will guarantee a minimum of three 15-minute games.
Entry is strictly on a first come first served basis. Download the entry form on the right, and send with a cheque payable to Aberdeen Sports Village, to:
Aberdeen Sports Village
Linksfield Road
Aberdeen
AB24 5RU
The closing date for entries is 28 May and the fixtures will be published on the ASV web site on 2 June.
Parents, you might be called upon to help with refereeing, or you can watch the latest action from South Africa on on the Lane 9 cafe's plasma screens, whilst enjoying a variety of Starbucks coffees and special offers.
ASV endorses the Scottish FA’s policy on fair play and trophy free football for Under 12s. The winners will receive free sessions on the pitch over the summer and there will be spot prizes for fair play and sportsmanship.
