Live Tournaments
Tournaments are where seasons turn into stories.
Training builds skill. Matches sharpen it. Tournaments — group stages, knockouts, a trophy lifted on finals day — are where it gets earned. For kids, through our academies. For adults, at our turfs.
The first is here.
Cup of Nations 2026
Twelve nations. One pitch. One summer to remember.
The Cup of Nations is our marquee summer tournament — modelled on the FIFA World Cup, running alongside it, played at our Tekkers FA ground in Rajouri Garden.
Players don't play for a team. They play for a country. Argentina. Brazil. India. Or one of nine others. Drafted into one of twelve nations — anthem, kit, flag, all of it.
For the summer, the academy becomes the World Cup.
The Tournament
June 2026
Guru Nanak Public School, Rajouri Garden

Man of the Match every game.
Your name. Every time.
5+ things you keep
numbered jersey, player kit, participation certificate, mini-trophy if top-3, and the photos and reels your family will share for years.
Built Like a Pro Tournament
Every team managed by Tekkers' own coaching team. No outside coaches, no improvised setups.
Certified referees on every match. First-aid and medic on standby through the tournament.
You're not watching from the stands. You manage your child's team — part of the run, not separate from it.
Pro photo and video crew on every match. Reels, highlights, finals-day ceremony footage — shareable assets to your phone, all summer.
The Cup is Earned. It Starts at TFA.
The Cup of Nations isn't open to drop-ins. It isn't a paid camp. Only Tekkers-enrolled players make the squad lists.
If you want your child on a country's roster this summer, the path is the academy. Enrolment is open. The Cup begins in June.
Beyond Cup of Nations
More tournaments. More cohorts. More chances to compete.
Cup of Nations is the first — not the only one. A tournament calendar follows: in-house cups through the season, friendlies between batches, more cups as new academies join the network in 2026 and 2027.
Same principle every time. Tekkers coaching. Pro production. Real stakes. The tournaments your child remembers ten years from now.
Tournaments at Face Off
The adult cups. Coming soon.
Adults want what kids want — a tournament worth turning up for. Face Off is being built to host them. Corporate leagues, weekend cups, after-work knockouts. The formats grown-up football in Delhi NCR has always deserved and never quite gotten.
First registration opens later this season.
What we're planning
Companies vs companies. League format. Run over a season. The thing your office five-a-side has been pretending to be for years.
One-day knockout. Six-a-side, bring your team, take the trophy. Saturday-morning football the way it should be.
Midweek tournaments for the players who can't take a weekend off. 7-to-11pm, three weeks running, the Face Off way.
Tournaments are where the work pays off.
A trophy. A goal you'll talk about for a decade. The day your team's name went on a board. The summer your kid played for Brazil.
This is what Maidan Play is for. The training, the grounds, the coaches, the platform — all of it is build-up. The tournaments are where it lands.
Cup of Nations is the first. The next ones are already being built.
