The excitement begins today as the 2024 Alberta Indigenous Games Soccer Festival kicks off for three action-packed days of fun and competition! Young athletes across Alberta will showcase their talents in this celebration of Indigenous culture, sportsmanship, and community. Be sure to check this page for the updated schedule, which is posted nightly, to keep everyone in the loop.
This year, the festival features the dynamic 3v3 small-sided games format, known as Funinho, which promises fast-paced, high-energy action on the field. This format is perfect for players to stay constantly involved, offering more touches on the ball, creative playmaking opportunities, and quick decision-making under pressure. It’s an incredible way for kids to sharpen their soccer skills while enjoying the thrill of the game. Not only does Funinho encourage development, but it also creates an atmosphere of fun and teamwork that makes every match exciting for both players and spectators.
Let’s come together as a community to celebrate this unique tournament and cheer on the next generation of soccer stars! Your support and encouragement will make this event even more special.
