Read what some of our previous competitors and clubs have had to say about the Kanga Cup!


“What a fantastic tournament! When our coach suggested a week long tournament in chilly Canberra I don’t think anyone realised just how wonderful an experience it would be and how smashed our expectations would be by the end of it.

I would definitely recommend other teams to play in the Kanga Cup because it was an unforgettable experience that others should get to enjoy as well. I know I had a fantastic week spent with awesome girls playing an awesome game and I really hope we can do it all again next year, so clear your calendars girls!”

OLIVIA HAY, PLAYER, KILLARNEY TERRIERS

“This is a great learning opportunity. It’s concentrated games within one week, providing a base to learn and develop skills.”

MIKE SHANAHAN, COACH, CANBERRA GIRLS GRAMMAR UNDER 14’S PLATE

“Because [the Kanga Cup] is the biggest footballing competition in the Southern hemisphere it is a great opportunity to compete at a more intense level. It will also help us develop our players’ footballing skills.”

KAREN GRAY, MANAGER, INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL SCHOOL

“This is a great tournament which is very well run. There are good quality teams competing which is beneficial for the players’ development as well as making it a great spectacle for the parents who also travel with their teams.”

ROBERT DEL CHECCOLO, FOOTBALL MANAGER, ADELAIDE CITY JUNIORS

“It’s really fun to travel and hang out with your friends, family & team.”

EMILY BUSACCA, PLAYER, RINGWOOD CITY

“McDonalds Kanga Cup is a great tournament for all youth players to learn and develop their skills against opposition from not only Australia but other countries too”
