In just under two short weeks, the countries talented youth will come together to compete in the 2018 National Age Group Tournament (NAGT). The tournament held here in Wellington from the 12^th to the 16^th of December brings together the 7 federations and just over 600 youth players in 5 different age groups.  

NAGT provides players the opportunity to come together as a federation and play at what is considered the pinnacle representative tournament. Capital Football Federation Development Manager, Steeve Sharpe, believes the tournament is one of the important steps in player development and provides both great talent I.D. opportunities and a positive learning environment.

“The tournament here in Wellington provides a fantastic platform for young players. To come together as a federation is a special experience, nothing compares to a tournament environment and to have that opportunity to be put in front of New Zealand Football high performance staff is not just important but also a great learning experience.”

Capital Football would like to congratulate the following players for being selected to represent Capital Football in the tournament. A fantastic achievement and we wish you all the best for your respective campaigns!
