Australian teams – all Australian teams require a letter of sanction from their Member Federation. Letters of sanction must state that the participants are covered by the Member Federation’s insurance. We strongly encourage participants to also take out personal sports injury/private health insurance.

International teams – Entry is only available to affiliated clubs of a member of an international football association affiliated with FIFA or schools. Teams must include a letter of sanction from their national football association. International teams must also have proof of travel insurance to cover personal accident or injury.

All officials will receive tournament identification in the form of accreditation passes and players will need to register on Dribl and carry an ID using the Kanga Cup ID template. These passes will provide access to all matches, special events and special deals (e.g. discounts).

All players in the tournament will be required to carry photo ID. If your team does not have Club/Association-issued ID cards, we have templates available HERE.

The KCOC aims to appoint one registered referee to each match. There is no guarantee that assistant referees would be provided. Teams must be prepared to provide an assistant referee where required.

Extra time will only be played in finals/playoffs matches, if the scores between the two teams are tied at the end of normal time. Then a two-minute break followed by two periods of 5 -10 mins (age dependent).

If there is still no result, a penalty shootout will then ensue.

There are many prizes up for grabs at the Kanga Cup. For teams reaching the final, each player will receive a medal, and each winning team will receive a Kanga Cup trophy. There are also trophies for Fair Play and individual awards.
