The Cascadia Association Football Federation (CAFF) is excited to confirm that they are sending a Cascadia team to London May 29th-June 10th. Their goal is to field a Cascadia Football team with a coach and equal number of players from Oregon, British Columbia, and Washington, with several players at large – and you can 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 or coach, 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.
If you are a supporter, and would like to travel with the team via our bulk rate – please contact us.
