On behalf of New Zealand Football, I’m pleased to welcome everyone to this football festival.
I hope you all have a brilliant next few days, enjoying playing and learning from the other teams.
It is great to see players, coaches and supporters from across Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia come together to celebrate the game.
Have fun!
