Blakely is proud to partner with Norwich City FC to host the first Blakely Canary Cup – a friendly, high-energy, Champions League-style 6-a-side football tournament taking place at The Nest.
Set to be one of the first local tournaments to adopt this exciting new format, the Blakely Canary Cup will see teams battle through group stages before entering the knockout rounds in pursuit of victory. But the tournament is about more than just football – it’s designed to bring people together from across the local community, uniting teams through a day full of energy, connection and competition at one of Norfolk’s leading sporting venues.
Tournament Format
Teams will compete in a single league-style stage, where each team plays five matches.
Points are awarded as follows:
The top 4 teams will automatically qualify for the knockout stage. The bottom 4 teams will be eliminated from the tournament. The remaining teams will enter a play-off round for a chance to reach the knockouts. The tournament will then continue into a classic knockout format until one team is crowned The Blakely Canary Cup Champions.
