This year will mark the 22nd year of the Colin Curry Memorial Trophy competition in memory of ex IFC Prague player Colin Currie and will consist of four teams: host club International Football Club of Prague (IFC), Sokol Skrben, Diplomatic Service FC Veterans and IFC Prague Old Boys.

Tournament Venue
As in all previous year, the venue for this year’s tournament will be Sportcentrum U Drahušky, home ground of FC Přední Kopanina of the 5th Division of the Czech Football League. Sportcentrum U Drahušky is situated near to Prague Airport, a short drive from the centre of Prague, and boasts an excellent, plush, grass pitch providing an ideal playing surface for football. There will be four changing rooms as well as shower facilities available at the ground though due to the number of teams it will be necessary that changing room facilities be shared. Therefore it is advised that any valuables left in the changing rooms are left at the owner’s risk.

Tournament Draw in James Joyce Bar this year, not OChes !!!
A draw will be made in James Joyce Bar, U Obecního dvora 794/4, 110 00 Staré Město, Praha 1 on Friday night, 16th of June at approximately 21.00pm. to determine the order of play for the next day.

Refreshments
For refreshments during the day a restaurant with an open-air beer garden is conveniently located at the ground where beer and other drinks can be purchased throughout the day. There will also be an all-day barbeque available with grilled meats and salads. Note that refreshments at the ground are NOT FREE and must be paid as you go.

Tournament Format
The format for this year’s competition will be on a round robin league table basis with each team playing each other once. Matches will consist of one 45 minute game with no halftime break.

Tournament Rules
1.) Squad Size: Numbers unlimited
2.) Substitutes: Free substitution.
3.) Player Representation: Any player already having represented a team may NOT then represent another team later in the tournament unless agreed by both opposing teams and tournament organisers and not opposed by other teams.
4.) Disciplinary punishments: Yellow cards received do not receive a ban. Players receiving red cards however will automatically serve an immediate, one match ban.
5.) League Standings and Point Allocation System: Round robin league play will be on a mini-league basis with each team playing each other once. Matches will consist of one 45 minutes straight play. Three points will be awarded for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss. In the event of teams being level on points in the final league table, the eventual winner will be determined by the following criteria in the order indicated below:
A.) Superior goal difference (the sum of goals scored minus goals conceded)
B.) Greater number of goals scored
C.) Penalty shootout.

Minute Silence
Before the commencement of the opening match of the tournament (scheduled to kick off at 10:00am) a period of one minute’s silence will be observed in memory of Colin Currie and other departed friends. All players participating in the tournament, regardless of what time their first match kicks off, are strongly encouraged to be present to show their respect.

Awards Presentation at the football stadium Sportcentrum U Drahušky this year !!!!
The Winner’s will receive a Champions trophy to take home with them. The original crystal football trophy (Colin Currie Memorial Trophy) will remain in the James Joyce Bar in Prague for safekeeping. In addition, a Runner’s Up trophy will be awarded to the Second Place finishers. Individual trophies will also be awarded for Player of the Tournament and Goal of the Tournament.
NOTE !!!!! - Different from previous years the Awards Presentation will take place at the stadium Sportcentrum U Drahušky directly after the last game or penalty shootout, the coach will then come around 18.15 to 18.30 to transport people back to Prague centre.

Evening Programme

The Colin Currie memorial cup this year will take place on Saturday 17th June

6-1 win in the season debut for IFC Prague in an away match against Prague Devils Football Club!

⚽️

IFC OLD BOYS 5-8 C.D. APC Cadiz

Going 0-4 down in 16 minutes certainly wasn't in the game plan. A very early header from a corner and three (THREE!) superb long range strikes put the Spanish visitors in a comfortable early lead that they did not relinquish despite IFC pressing them throughout the remaining 74 minutes.

It was a good game played in great spirits and sportsmanship. We look forward to the second leg in Cadiz.

IFC Goals: Evers, Schuitema (as: Barrett), Bointon P, Boh (as: Evers), Cenek.

IFC: Colantoni: Sattar, Barrett, Sellers, Lowe: Cenek, Moreaux, Schuitema, Johnson: Evers, Baltrock. Subs: Bointon T, Bointon P. Boh

New visual identity for the oldest expat team from Prague! After 32 years, IFC Prague starts the 2022/23 season with a new logo! ✌️

It is with deep sadness and shock we received the news yesterday that one of our good friends and ex player Andy Smith passed away suddenly. Andy was a very popular person in Prague, loved by everyone he met, rest in peace Andy.
