Sunshine Coast Coed Cup of Nations

3v3 soccer. Five games. Five Tuesdays. One nation to represent.

A short summer soccer tournament inspired by the World Cup.

Teams represent nations. You do not have to be from that country. Maybe your family is. Maybe your friends are. Maybe you love the way they play. Maybe you just want to wear the colours.

This is a compact tournament: three group-stage games, followed by two playoff games.

Every team gets five games.

Why 3v3?

3v3 soccer is the fastest-growing code of football in North America. It’s fast, simple, and easy to jump into.

Everyone is involved. There is no hiding, no waiting around for the ball, and no complicated team structure. You attack, defend, pass, move, shoot, and recover.
