AUSTRALIA'S BIGGEST
FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT
TOURNAMENT OVERVIEW
WELCOME
Welcome to the biggest and best junior football tournament in Australia. 300 Teams are expected to participate this year and a massive 10,000 people in attendance!
CONTINUED GROWTH
Since being established in 2007, the Shepparton Cup shows steady growth every year. 287 teams participated in 2019. The anticipation is at its peak after not being able to host the event for the last 3 years. We cannot wait!
NATIONAL REACH
Teams from all over the country have been attending the event; the vast majority are from Metro Melbourne. We've had great interest from teams from all around Australia to join us this year.
INTERNATIONAL TEAMS
We've had teams from New Zealand participate in the event since 2012. This year with the borders being the most accessible they have been in recent years, we expect more international teams to attend the event.
TOURNAMENT AUDIENCE
OUR AUDIENCE
We have a loyal audience who is fully engaged for 3 action packed days. They all have a vested interest as they have a close friend or family member participating in the event.
AGE GROUP BREAKDOWN
The majority of players that participate in the event are aged between 10 -12 years old. They are also the most supported teams with friends and families attending their games.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME
Clubs, schools and academy teams are welcome to participate. It is a great opportunity for teams to play against others they would normally not play against during the season.
WHOLE FAMILY EVENT
The Shepparton Cup has become the tournament of choice for teams to celebrate the end of the season. It is not just a tournament but also a great social event for the whole family.
