PlayHER Tournament Bringing Women from Across Victoria Together this May

The PlayHER Tournament is being held this May at the Knox Regional Football Centre, bringing together women from across Victoria for a day of fun, friendship, and football.

Originally launched in 2021 as the GO Soccer Mums Cup, PlayHER has evolved into a flagship celebration of female football. Designed to create an inclusive and social environment, the PlayHER Tournament welcomes players of all experience levels to enjoy the game in a supportive and community-driven setting.

Matches will be played in a five-a-side format, with five players on the pitch at any one time. Teams can register up to 10 players, with a minimum of six required to participate. Each match will consist of two 10-minute halves, keeping the action fast, fun, and engaging throughout the day. 

This year, teams will be separated into one of two categories:

  • Open category 
  • 35+ years category

Get your team together and be part of this year’s PlayHER Tournament, a celebration of connection, confidence, and community through football.
