The Outrigger Challenge Cup is a soccer tournament managed by the Marshall Islands Soccer Federation.
The Outrigger Canoe, from which the tournament takes its name, has been used by Micronesian people for thousands of years to navigate the ocean. We are using it as a metaphor for how we are using soccer to bring together people and regions often overlooked and underrepresented on the global stage, providing a platform for future stars to shine and showcase talent.
The tournament encapsulates soccer in all formats; 11v11, Futsal, Beach, and across Men’s and Women’s teams.
