INTERNATIONAL TEAMS
COMING TO CHARLESTON
In the fall of 2012, the WFT developed relationships with the 2-year old 3v3 Norge (Norway) tour and Futbol 3v3 Wanchope CR (Costa Rica), a WFT Partner growing new 3v3 events in CR, it hopes will result in youth teams traveling to the US for our WFT World Cup IV. Since then, the WFT has made additional contacts in Mexico and Brazil exploring opportunities to bring teams from those futbol rich nations as well.
The WFT International Program will focus on several things:
- The cultural immersion of players from different nations into homes of local families in Charleston with players of the same age.
- Friendships grown from this cultural interaction.
- Exposing players to different soccer styles and cultures
- Sharing training methods between local and international coaches
The WFT is still in its infancy and we are very grateful for the opportunity to serve so many wonderful youth futbolers in the US and now from other futbol nations.

JOIN THE FUN
The WFT has found the home for its 3v3/6v6 World Cup in Charleston, SC and we want to help you take advantage of the activities that are here to be enjoyed in the #1 voted Destination in the US in 2012. Earlier in the week leading up to the tourney, we will be busy with the international teams, but then our attention will also be focused on the out of town teams that arrive a day or two early.
From the beaches at the Isle of Palms & Folly Beach to Patriots Pt, Fort Sumter & carriage ride tours to the historic district & slave market, and cool water parks, there is never any shortage of things to do in Charleston.
On Thursday we will have several hours of beach soccer to those that want to join us. That night there will be a fun night at Frankie's Fun Park to those that want pure fun for the kids (young and old).
Friday at 5:00pm, the WFT World Cup IV officially gets underway at Blackbaud Stadium as teams can begin to check-in. The WC IV Soccerfest kicks off at 5:30 that will include interactive soccer activities, the Parade of Teams, and the finals of the juggling and freestyle soccer competitions.
