The Ray Kennedy Weekend brings together two unique and inspiring football tournaments:

The Ray Kennedy Cup (7-a-side football)
The Ray Kennedy Shields (6-a-side walking football)

 

While each tournament follows its own set of adapted rules, both share the same core values: inclusion, fair play, community, and the joy of the game.

 

To ensure a safe, respectful, and enjoyable experience for all participants, we follow the official rules set by governing bodies—7-a-side football regulations and the Walking Football Association (WFA) guidelines—with a few modifications tailored to the needs of our players.

 

Below, you will find the specific rules for each tournament. Please read them carefully and do not hesitate to ask referees or organizers if you have any questions during the weekend.
