[edit] Australian-Croatian Soccer Tournament

An annual amateur football (soccer) tournament which is for weekend teams, which appears to be restricted to one ethnic group in Australia - which would cover no more than 1% of the population? Delete.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! 06:02, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. I have found a couple of references to this in the Australian media. The Melbourne Knights which was an NSL soccer side enters teams in it - Mark Viduka who will captain Australia in this year's World Cup probably played in it. Sydney Croatia a former NSL side also enters teams. The current champions Canberra Croatia Deakin are a well-known soccer team in Canberra. This tournament is notable enough for mine having a couple of teams who were formally in the National Soccer League put teams in even if they are reserves and others in State Leagues.

• Keep. Soccer in Australia is strong among immigrant communities from Easter Europe and this is one of the strongest groups. As Capitalistroadster noted, it is notable in Australian Soccer. --Bduke 06:51, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
