He said the competition will be played in two categories, on for the men’s open and the second will feature the U13 and U14 year’s old players.

The competition will officially be opened by the HCC Mayor Israel Maeoli.

The opening will start with a brief uniform parade by participating teams followed by the first matches which will be a curtain raiser match between the futsal All Stars team and the national U16 futsal squad who are preparing to attend the upcoming U16 futsal competition in Fiji.
