One team's name will be the very first forever carved on this trophy. One captain will hoist it high. One squad will claim the inaugural crown – and that moment starts now.Join the roar at Warren Park!

Support your team, fuel the fire, and witness history unfold over three epic days: January 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, 2026, kicking off at 5:00 pm on the 2nd. Let's pack the stands, ignite the passion, and make Unity Cup a story of triumph we'll pass down for generations.
