Indoor Nations Cup
About the Indoor Nation's Cup
The Indoor Nations Cup was introduced in 2015 and is held annually as a competition to bridge the gap between Indoor and Outdoor seasons. It is an opportunity to recognize the cultural diversity that exists locally within the sport of soccer. This tournament provides a unique concept of grouping players based on their ethnic backgrounds and countries of origin, creating an exciting atmosphere that provides a stage for people throughout the community to express their pride in their heritage. An Outdoor Nations Cup occurred from 2006 to 2019 in memory of Davinder Singh Kajla. There is more information here.
