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.
