The McDonald’s Kanga Cup strives towards its philosophy and mission “Uniting the Youth of the World through Football” and as such the tournament provides an opportunity for participants to meet players from all over Australia as well as overseas. Past international teams have been from Fiji, South Africa, Korea, Georgia, England, New Zealand, the United States of America, Chinese Taipei and many more. The 2021 McDonald’s Kanga Cup will be held over six days, from 4th – 9th July in Canberra, Australia’s capital city. 2 | P a g e THE MCDONALD’S KANGA CUP The McDonald’s Kanga Cup had humble beginnings, starting in 1991 in Sydney before moving to its new home of Canberra in 1993. The inaugural Kanga Cup had just 35 teams participate; the 2019 edition had over 320 teams take part, seeing 5500 participants from Australia and overseas meet in Canberra for a week of football, culture, fun and friendship like no other. THE 2021 MCDONALD’S KANGA CUP With previous editions of the McDonald’s Kanga Cup reaching capacity, it is important to register for the 2021 McDonald’s Kanga Cup as soon as possible.
