What is the Friendly Cup?

BEFC hosts its own ‘Embassy Friendly Cup’ held on the Embassy with Japanese company NSK and additional invitational teams.  NSK opened the first Japanese factory in the UK, and this long running relationship is recognised in this cup.

In previous years NSK would invite BEFC down to their pitches near Nagoya and put on a tournament and host us. BEFC now host the ‘Friendly Cup’, a 6 team futsal tournament and BBQ held at the British Embassy in Hanzomon, Tokyo.

Tournament Details

The tournament is a round robin, in which each team plays each other once in 7 minute games.
The top two teams play off in the Friendly Cup Final, which is 10 minutes. There are final matches for 1st and 2nd, 3rd and 4th, 5th and 6th.

There are no referees in the Friendly Cup, it is down to sportsmanship hence the name.
The Friendly Cup is about sportsmanship and enjoying football more than winning the title.

In a case where there are more than 2 equal top teams in the round robin, it will come down to overall goal difference and then if tied results against each other.
