We’re thrilled to share that Team Abruzzo will once again take part in the ICSF Conwest Coppa Italia Tournament, happening June 19–22, 2025 at Adanac Park in Vancouver.
This exciting, family-friendly event brings together regional teams from across the Italian Canadian community for a weekend full of high-level soccer, authentic Italian food, and a true celebration of our cultural pride. It’s more than a tournament—it’s a tradition that brings back the spirit and camaraderie of the original “Italian League” from the 1980s and 90s.
This year, eight regions—including Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Friuli, Puglia, Sicilia, and Veneto—will compete for the coveted Coppa Italia Cup, with everyone aiming to dethrone the reigning champions, Team Campania.
Let’s come together to cheer on our Abruzzese players, reconnect with old friends, and soak in the great atmosphere of Italian heritage and sport. Whether you’re watching from the sidelines, volunteering, or simply enjoying the food and festivities, your presence helps keep our culture alive and vibrant.

Bring your friends, wear your Abruzzo colours, and show your support!
