This tournament has been organised as a representative multicultural team event.

As the teams and players are being organised through their community representatives, there will be no open or individual player registration for this tournament.

We sincerely appreciate the enthusiasm of everyone who may have wished to play. While playing positions are being coordinated through the respective communities, everyone is warmly invited to attend, support the fundraiser, cheer for the teams and be part of this special multicultural gathering. 🙏❤️
