THE DRAFT

This unique draft invites players of various backgrounds and nationalities to join forces, being randomly assigned to teams. Participants are expected to arrive in Bloemfontein by December 12th, with the draft event being live-streamed that evening.

Each team will be guided by 2 coaches, with plans to form at least 4 teams, though our ambition is to welcome 8 teams, depending on the support we receive. There will be three match days regardless of the final team count.

Coaches will select players round by round until each team is complete. Athletes will discover their teams on the draft night, followed by an opportunity to meet teammates and coaches, with two practice sessions planned before the competition starts.

The draft is open to players aged 16 to 18, of any playing level. The goal is to unite players globally, creating unforgettable experiences.
