19th-27th JANUARY

Supa Oldie Sports International (SOS) ...is an Organization devoted to the organising of “Over 35 “ Tournaments. Its development has been due to the phenomenal growth of the “Over 35 Soccer League.... Since 1996 SOS has held four very successful “International Oldies Tournaments” identified as, “World Fun Cup’s”. These “Oldies World Championships” were held in Australia, Argentina, Australia and Germany in 2000. In 1997 SOS was invited by the Queensland Events Corporation to organize the “Asia Pacific Masters Games” for Soccer. These Games are held every two years on the Gold Coast, Australia. The year 2002 sees SOS International for the first time in New Zealand. Teams from around the world are expected to experience the now famous “Supa Oldie Spirit”. It’s not only the “Oldie World Championship” but also the “Sportsmanship” and “Comradeship” that underpins the Philosophy of SOS International. SOS invites you to our “Oldie World Championship” in the City of Dunedin which is located in the beautiful South Island of New Zealand.This will be the place where you experience 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. With the special atmosphere and the natural beauty of New Zealand add to that the game 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”. That 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 itself demands Respect and the Golden Shorts are the “Symbol” for this. Here are the calendar of events of the eight days and ways to enjoy them....
