THE countdown is on for the 2025 Joeys Mini World Cup in
Inverell, with six teams already signing up for the football event in October.
With last year’s event attracting more than 50 teams,
organisers are aiming for an even larger contingent of teams this year. Team
nominations have already been received from Lismore, Coffs Harbour, Woolgoolga,
Kempsey, Toowoomba and also Wodonga on the Murray River.
Event spokesperson, Heinrich Haussler says this year’s event
will include seven categories, with players aged from 7 years taking to the
football pitch. The popular differing abilities category and also a one-night
social charity event will also be returning for the 2025 Mini World Cup.
The tournament offers players 14 years and over the chance
to travel and play on a football tour of Germany and this year, three stalwarts
of German football will be assisting with selecting players.
“Jens Kiefer, a professional
German football coach will be making the journey from Germany for the event,
along with Petra Hauser, who has played 92 games in the
German league and player agent, Joerg Schemberg”.
All three will be at the tournament in Inverell to scout for
talent.
The 2025 Mini World Cup will be held 2-5 October 2025 at
Inverell Sports Complex. Local businesses are invited to become a sponsor, with the Sponsorship Proposal booklet now available here.
