VICTORIA 6-A-SIDE FOOTBALL FIESTA 2018
8TH SEPTEMBER 2018
VICTORIA JUNIOR COLLEGE
0730HRS TO 1500HRS
Football is part of the DNA of Victorians. It is a proud association irrespective of capability or competency. Most if not all Victorians enjoy playing football. At the very least, appreciate it.
As one of the football powerhouses in zonal and at national levels, Victoria has never failed to shine whenever our boys or girls team take on their opponents.
It is with this in mind that the Old Victorians’ Association has decided to bring back once again, the Victoria Football Fiesta 2018, after a hiatus of a few years.
Victoria Football Fiesta 2018 aims to bring Victorians from all walks of life together for a day of football fun and bonding.
For the first time we are also introducing the Women’s Open. We welcome our Victorian sisters and hope to have their support as well as see them in action.
So do gather your fellow Victorians and sign up to bond, play and relive your glory years.
Sign up now…..hope to see you there!

For here we’ve learnt and striven too.
And played the sportsman’s game.
