The 2026 Rale Rasic Joeys Mini World Cup

The Road to Kick-Off for the 2026 Rale Rasic Joeys Mini World Cup officially begins today.

From 28 September to 4 October, Inverell becomes the home of regional football excellence with teams from South Australia - Queensland and New South Wales joining the tournament.

The Rale Rasic Joeys Mini World Cup is not just a tournament.

It is a platform.

It is a pathway.

This is where preparation meets opportunity.

This is where belief meets performance.

This is where dreams begin.

That is why the journey starts now — not in September.
