The philosophy of ‘the Kanga’ is to ‘Unite the Youth of the World through Football.’ This theme is emphasised not only in the on-field aspect of the tournament but also the event’s social program. This program includes; opening ceremony, host nights with local clubs, movie nights, discos and an awards ceremony. The Kanga Cup offers a memorable junior football experience - not just for the players but also the coaches, managers and parents.
