UEFA stages the Regions Cup Competition every two years. All UEFA member associations are invited to enter a regional or a national amateur team for the competition. This tournament offers a special football experience to players who would otherwise not have the opportunity to compete in international competitions. Apart from improving standards at amateur level, which is recognised as an important pillar of European football, such tournaments promote reciprocal regional contacts, understanding, acceptance and greater knowledge of other cultures and regions.  The Malta Football Association through the Gozo Football Association will again be organising the Regions Cup tournament next month.
