The top three winning teams walk away with Puma vouchers worth US$1,200, US$800 and S$400, respectively.

One player from each country will be awarded the Most Valuable Player (MVP) recognition and wins a 1-year boot deal with Puma, subject to terms and conditions.

How to play

To take part in the Puma FTBL Cup, participants will need to form a team of six to eight players.

Teams will be required to compete in a two-part challenge – the 5-a-side tournament and the skills challenge. The skills challenge will put players’ technical skills to the test, with sets such as the Free Kick, Ball Juggling, Headers & Volleys, Shooting Challenges and Team Speed, where players have to get through a challenging obstacle course in the quickest time possible.

Points will be awarded for winning games, scoring goals as well as completing skill challenges. The team with the most points wins.

The 5-a-side tournament takes place in the round-robin format, where teams will be split into groups to face off against opponents.
