Touch Football Australia (TFA) in conjunction with the Federation of International Touch (FIT) are pleased to release the draw for the inaugural Asia Pacific Youth Touch Cup (APYTC) which is being held in Brisbane, Australia from 12-14 May.
The APYTC is a one-off event to reignite international youth competitions following the cancellation of the 2021 FIT Youth World Cup. Due to the cost and logistical challenges of attending one centralised World Cup so soon after the pandemic, two separate events have been created in both the Southern and Northern hemispheres to provide greater opportunities for nations to restart their youth programs.
Twenty-five teams representing ten nations will compete at the APYTC across 18s and 20s mixed, girls and boys divisions, in what will be a colourful showcase of emerging talent.
