The Youth Football Association (YFA) launched the Gatorade Fun Football Festival Season 2006/07 during a meeting held for all Youth Nurseries at the Farsons Brewery.

The games for Under-10 and Under-12 teams will be held between November and May with the biggest ever participation with nearly all affiliated nurseries 44 out of 45. The Under-10 matches will kick off tomorrow while the Under-12 matches kick off on Saturday, 2 December and both will be played at the Centenary Stadium.

“Players of this age look at these Fun Festivals with great enthusiasm and thus inspire our Association to continue working hard to organise these events,” said Mr Alfred Cacciatolo, Chairman of the Organising Committee for the Gatorade Fun Football Festival.

Fr Hilary Tagliaferro, President of the Youth FA, stressed the importance of discouraging competition and pressure on winning.

Joe Micallef, General Secretary of the Youth FA delivered his gratitude to Farsons that, for the last nine consecutive years, supported the association first with Pepsi and now with Gatorade as main sponsor of these events.
