SOCCER

WORLD FUN CUP

BUDAPEST HUNGARY
15th - 23rd
July 2006

Supa Oldie Sports International (SOS) 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 1994 SOS has held six very successful International Oldies Tournaments called World Fun Cup’s.

These Oldies World Championships were held in Australia, Argentina, Australia, Germany, New Zealand and Australia in 2004.

The year 2006 sees SOS International once again in Europe. This time we have selected the beautiful City of Budapest – Hungary. 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. 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. With the special atmosphere and beauty of Budapest add to that the game we all love...soccer...and you are guaranteed a week of enjoyment, entertainment and fun.

 

===============================================

THE PROGRAM

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 much of 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 for this.  Here is the calendar of events for the eight days of enjoyment.

You will be welcomed at the Airport by your SOS Guide and transferred to your Accommodation.
