The NSR Kanga Cup will have a new headquarters for 2016 following the partnership agreement between the Kanga Cup and the Capital Hotel Group. The Headquarters for the Southern Hemisphere’s largest youth football tournament will now be found at the Pavilion on Northbourne, located at 242 Northbourne Avenue in Dickson.
Based close to the Football Central hub of Southwell Park, a key ground for NSR Kanga Cup matches and the home of NSR Kanga Cup Finals Day, Pavilion on Northbourne provides convenient location for both staff and tournament participants who may need to access tournament services during the competition.
“We are delighted to welcome Capital Hotel Group into the NSR Kanga Cup Family,” Tournament Director Michael Kelly commented. “It was important for the Kanga Cup Organising Committee that we had a central base close to the main football hub in order to make things as simple as possible for our key staff members and for the tournament officials and participants.
“The Capital Hotel Group, and in particular the Pavilion on Northbourne, offer us exactly what we need to help run the tournament smoothly with access to premises which will be turned into the NSR Kanga Cup offices for the week. The fact that the location is within easy reach of many of our venues, and our Southwell Park hub, is an added bonus.”
The Capital Hotel Group also becomes the Premium Accommodation Partner of the NSR Kanga Cup offering great rates to competitors throughout the week-long event.
“Through Capital Football’s association with the Capital Hotel Group the organisation of the NSR Kanga Cup will be greatly enhanced,” Capital Football Business Manager Sam Irvine commented. “We have already seen how the Pavilion on Northbourne is suited to hosting a variety of events with our Season Launch and Westfield FFA Cup draw held there and we look forward to continuing, and evolving our partnership in the future.”
“Capital Hotel Group along with the Pavilion on Northbourne are both excited and proud to be partnering with the Kanga Cup, Capital Hotel Group General Manager Jackie Mckeown commented. “To be part of a sporting event which is iconic to the ACT region and Canberra is a great privilege and oppurtunity for Capital Hotel group. We look forward to being home to the tournament HQ during the week, as well as welcoming the thousands of participants to Canberra – we wish them all the best of luck”
