Community tournaments since 2022
One-day tournaments that bring players, families and communities from across Auckland onto the same field.
Maiwand FC runs three domestic tournaments each year. Enter a team, register your child, or come along and watch.
Dates to be announced
Eid Cup
Our longest-running tournament, played over Eid. A gala night and live draw set the groups before a full day of football and a grand final under lights.
Registrations open
Unity Cup
Our community tournament. One day, sixteen teams and every community in Auckland on the same field — with a kids grade for every age from six up.
Dates to be announced
Annual Domestic Tournament
Our end-of-season domestic competition, bringing Maiwand FC sides together with invited clubs from around Auckland to close out the year.
These apply across all three tournaments. Anything specific to one tournament is confirmed with your draw.
7-a-side on quarter pitches, six outfield players and a keeper.
Group games are two halves with a short turnaround between fixtures.
Name your squad at registration. Late additions are fine up to kick-off.
Age is taken as at the first day of the tournament.
Referees’ decisions are final. We expect the same standard from the sideline.
Three points for a win, one for a draw. Level teams are split in this order.
