Facebook Post: The Cascadia Association Football Federation is excited to confirm that we are sending a Cascadia NTL team to London May 29th-June 10th for the CONIFA World Football Cup. Our goal is to field a team with a coach and equal number of players from Oregon, British Columbia, and Washington, with several players at large – and we want you to join us to make this dream come true!

As part of the fun, different areas and supporters in BC, OR, WA are working to directly sponsor players from those areas. If you are a football fan, we would love if you see if your team or supporter group might be interested in sponsoring a ticket to make sure you are well represented.

If you are a player, don’t hesitate to reach out. While players who can pay their own way would be wonderful 100% of our fundraising is geared towards subsiding and providing scholarships for player airfare for those who wouldn’t be able to otherwise make it.
