Farrer Park United is largely made up of kids who played together in the Active SG Football Academy (AFA). They had started playing at Farrer Park before moving to St Wilfred more recently.

Also reveling in the chance to play at the National Stadium was the Pasir Ris Team 1, a side made up from players from the AFA.

Said AFA principal and former Singapore international Aleksandar Duric, whose team had helped organise the football tournament: "It was a joint effort from many stakeholders to make this event happen. But all the hard work was worth it, when we get to see the smile on the faces of the boys and girls and their parents" said Duric.
