Football Fever hits Canberra

Football Fever in the city that never sleeps.

A severe case of football fever is set to grip Canberra again when the 17th McDonald’s Kanga Cup will coincide with the Socceroos first appearance in the Asian Cup. Similar to last year’s Kanga and FIFA World Cups, this year around 3000 junior footballers from around Australia and Oceania will again be celebrating the green and gold from no better place than Australia’s capital.

Two of the three Socceroos games will take place during the week long tournament with Australia’s first match against Oman to kick off only hours after the KC Opening Ceremony, this year’s participants will surely feel inspired as the their own first round of matches are to take place the following morning at various venues around Canberra.

This year the Green and Gold Army will be setting up shop at the City Labor Club to cheer on our boys as we contest our first Asian Cup.


The football action doesn’t stop there with Canberra to host another Hyundai A-League Pre-Season Cup match a fortnight after the Kanga Cup concludes between Sydney FC and the Central Coast Mariners.

McDonald’s Kanga Cup organiser Steven McIntyre is looking forward to the occasion.
“What a place for a football fan, from Belsouth to Bentleigh Greens, from Queanbeyan to Queensland, all these kids will be competing against each other during the day, but come night fall we will all be celebrating as one for the Socceroos.”
