Football South Australia and Bedford are teaming up again to bring the football community to The Phoenix Cup for International Day Of People With Disability 2022
This year's annual event will take place on Saturday 3rd December at ServiceFM Stadium, Gepps Cross from 10 am to 3.30 pm, with two divisions open for entry: Social and Competitive.
2022 will be an extra special event, with the annual event this year falling on the International Day of People With Disability.
This will be the 14th Phoenix Cup, with last year's competition taking place at VALO Football Centre in Angle Park.
What is the Phoenix Cup?
The Phoenix Cup is an annual all-abilities community football tournament open for people with disabilities.
Modbury Jets AFC (MJAFC) commenced this tournament in 2009 in a bid to provide people with disabilities the opportunity to participate in a football tournament and to mix with their peers in similar circumstances.
The tournament was organised and run by the Modbury Jets AFC from 2009 to 2015 (7 years), at which time MJAFC were approached by Bedford to take over the running of the tournament from last year to assist with the administration of the expanding event.
Competition Format
Provided that the number of teams allows us to, the Phoenix Cup will have two divisions to choose from
- Division 1 - Competitive league
- Division 2 - Social league
Rules and fixtures will be sent to teams after receiving all nomination forms.
