We are excited to announce the 5th edition of the Konki Tournament, taking place on June 13th, 2026 at a location to be announced soon.This year’s theme celebrates five years of impact and the powerful sense of belonging the Konki Tournament has created within our community. Over the years, we have learned that this is more than just a game- it is a space where connections are built, identities are affirmed, and community thrives.The past two years have highlighted the critical importance of inclusion. In 2024, we proudly featured co-ed teams, and last year marked a historic moment with our first female referee. This year, we are excited to continue that momentum with a special women’s exhibition match and a kids’ soccer clinic, expanding opportunities for participation across all ages and backgrounds.We invite you to register your team today. You can also join us as a volunteer, vendor, or organizing partner. Most importantly, we look forward to welcoming everyone as we come together to celebrate the start of summer- with great football, meaningful connections, and unforgettable community moments.#konkitournament2026 #worldcup #buildingbelonging #konkitournament by @nyerere07
