SoccerFest has grown into the largest 7-a-side inter-cultural tournament in Ireland attracting crowds of up to 3,000 people from over 60 different nationalities including teams from Direct Provision Centres and refugee communities.
In 1997 SARI launched SoccerFest bringing together people from new migrant communities and indigenous Irish communities. SoccerFest has grown into the largest 7-a-side inter-cultural tournament in Ireland attracting crowds of up to 3,000 people from over 60 different nationalities including teams from Direct Provision Centres and refugee communities.
Soccerfest has been SARI’s flagship event for a quarter of a century: it’s a unique opportunity for people of different cultures and backgrounds to come together to compete for the prestigious SARI Soccerfest Cup.
