Entry into the stadium is free of charge and the canteen will be open throughout the tournament. The Sydney Youth Cup is a great day out for all the family to enjoy so come along to watch Australia’s up and coming talent in action!!!

About the Sydney Youth Cup

Penrith Nepean United Football Club would like to take this opportunity in extending an invitation to your organisation to participate in the Sydney Youth Cup, which will be hosted from the 19th till the 25th of July 2009. The Tournament has been designed to provide players the opportunity to compete and play against young footballers from around the globe and to meet people from different cultures.

The aim is for players to be part of a professional environment competing amongst teams of equal or higher calibre and allowing players to learn from each other. The games will be held at Belmore Sports Ground and Gabbie Stadium, which we believe are two superb facilities to hold such a tournament and to promote the world game of football.

This tournament will be one of a kind, being conducted in a professional manner, by allowing players the chance to play a game a day and to live together as a squad and to understand what is involved in becoming a professional athlete. This invitation gives your organisation the opportunity to be a part of this exciting tournament, which will not only benefit the players, but also the coaching staff, parents and all football fans.

We trust that a friendship can be developed between our organisations as we strive to improve the quality of football within our nations and provide youth footballers the chance to express themselves, and to learn and grow.

Kind Regards
Peter Tsekenis
