FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Teams can now register for a co-ed 5v5 soccer tournament in Fayetteville this summer that will include matchups against players from the Marshall Islands national team.
The World Championship Fives will take place June 13-14 at Fayetteville High School. It is being organized by the Marshall Islands Soccer Federation in partnership with Experience Fayetteville.
Organizers say the tournament is intended to be part of a broader “World Cup Week Extravaganza,” though additional events under that banner have not yet been publicly announced.
