Concession stands and restrooms will be in place for Fairfield’s first Soccer Tournament, thanks to the City of Fairfield. The event is being hosted by the three-year-old sports organization, Fairfield Soccer FC.
The Fairfield Fall Kick Off Tournament will welcome 18 teams to compete over a three-day weekend, on October 27, 28 & 29, 2017. The tournament is sanctioned by North Texas.
This promises to be a busy weekend for local hotels as, according to organizer Tiffany Anderson, when it comes to soccer, “you are bringing the whole family.”
Council approved $4,600 during their regular session on Tuesday, October 10, 2017.
The tournament is for soccer teams with players of ages 6 to 14 years. For more information, visit online at www.leaguelineup.com/fairfieldsoccerfc.
