Sponsor

Back the tournament as a business. Your name goes on the day, and every dollar still reaches the scholarships.

Become a sponsor

Every team gets a crest

Pick a color no one else has and an emblem to fly it under — 24 hand-drawn sprites, or the flag of any nation that came out of the group stage in 2026. Your crest follows you through the bracket, the roster and the scoreboard.

A sample of the catalog — pick yours when you register.

The format

Seventeen-minute matches, round-robin group stage, then knockouts. Co-ed, all levels — the fastest player on the field is usually somebody's kid.

Check in opens 30 minutes before the first match, and trophies go out in the early afternoon.

Where the money goes

Every year the tournament funds need-based scholarships at the Elementary School of Khan in Cameroon, through the Excellence Plus Foundation.

Its founder, Dr. Zachee Tinhaga, was sent home from school more than once because his parents could not pay the fees. He went on to become a lawyer in New York, and he and his wife Katie started the foundation so that no child's education ends over money.
