Memphis Cup of Nations

Team Leadership Information

Objective
To provide the Memphis Community a time to come together, build partnerships and positive relationships through a 6v6 soccer tournament. The game of 6v6 soccer is played on a smaller field but keeps the basic outdoor rules with a few modifications. The Cup of Nations Festival in Memphis will have one division: Above 18 Men's

Description
The main differences from full field soccer include a smaller pitch and a reduced game duration with no off-sides. There is a one-man system for refereeing games and substitutions can be made whenever, regardless of whether the ball is in or out of play.

6v6 soccer is ideal for all players due to the smaller field and higher repetitions of touches in competition.

The Cup of Nations is a tournament format similar to the World Cup. The first round will be a round robin within your group of 4. The top two teams from each group will advance to the Championship between Group A and Group B. 3rd, 5th and 7th place will also play at the same time as Championship round.
