Supa Oldie Sports International (SOSI) is an Organization that specializes in "Over 35 " Soccer Tournaments. Its development was due to the phenomenal growth of the "Over 35 Soccer League" in Australia.Since 1996 SOS has held five very successful "International Oldies Tournaments" called "World Fun Cup's". These "Oldies World Championships" were held in Australia, Argentina, Australia, Germany and New Zealand in 2002.

The year 2004, sees SOS International host another Festival at the popular destination of Australia's Holiday Playground...the Gold Coast.
Teams from around the world will once again experience the now famous "Supa Oldie Spirit". It's not only the "Oldie World Championship" but also the "Sportsmanship" and "Comradeship" that highlights the Philosophy of SOS International. We are proud to invite you to our 2004 "Oldie World Championship". Our games will be played at the magnificent Sporting Complex of Carrara Stadium. This will be another opportunity for you to sample a "Soccer Holiday of a Life Time".

Fun, Soccer, Holiday and Fellowship that's the only way to describe this Soccer Extravaganza. All these factors have been combined to bring this unique Festival to you.
The special atmosphere and the natural beauty of the Gold Coast will be just an added attraction to the game that we all love...soccer.... and you are guaranteed a week of enjoyment, packed with entertainment. The philosophy of SOS International is "Fun & Fellowship" and our Motto is; "Participation is more important than Winning". Obviously, every player goes on the park to win, that's only natural, but at our stage of life we should enjoy the game to the full...in that respect SOS International recognizes all players over 60 years of age. During the Opening Function all players 60 and over are given "Golden Shorts". This creates a lot of fun, however, behind all that is a very important point. It is a gesture of recognition by SOS International to all those players who have devoted all their life to the greatest game of all; and at 60 years or over are still active on the park. That in itself demands Respect and the Golden Shorts are the "Symbol"of this.
Below are the calendar of events of the eight days and ways to enjoy them....
