Bend it like the Australian music industry at this star-studdedcharity five-a-sidefootball tournament.
Now in its third year, Musica Copa is the brainchild of UNDR Ctrl’s Paul Stix and Purple Sneakers’ Martin Novosel. And it offersa unique feel-good fundraising and networking experience in the name of sport to raise money for charity.
20 music industry teams will compete for glory in this year’s Musica Copa when it returns to Marrickville’s KIKOFF Soccer Centre in February. Teams include FBi Radio, Future Classic and Spotify.
Jack Daniels, Red Bull Music Academy, Smirnoff and Void have all got on board as sponsors for the year. There’ll also be $14,000 in prize money to be won by the top four finishing teams for their nominated charities.
The Loop’s Channel 11 presenter Scott Tweedie is returning as MC. No word as yet who will be providing the music entertainment, but previous years’ performers include Bag Raiders, Motez and Kilter. Young Henrys and Mary’s will provide refreshments and nourishment at their Beer and Burger Bar.
For the first time this year, the tournament will be open to the public on Saturday February 6 with Musica Copa El Publico. Local five-a-side teams will be able to enter the day-long tournament for the chance to win their own bumper cash prize and raise even more money for charity.
Musica Copa 2016 takes place Friday February 5 and Saturday February 6.
