This year the highly popular festival aims to attract more than the average 6,000 participants over the weekend. The festival will take place at the Garda & Camogie Sports Grounds just across from the entrance to Dublin Zoo.
At the heart of the Soccerfest is a seven-a-side soccer tournament with 40 men’s teams from all over Ireland, with players representing more than 50 countries. An All-Stars game, featuring celebrated sportsmen and women, will be held on Saturday afternoon.
The two-day festival also includes a wide variety of entertainment for all the family, with teddy-bear parachuting, face painting, DJs, clowns, capoeira, sports workshops and demonstrations, African dancing, drum circles, FAI soccer skills, GAA Have-A-Go, and lots more.
So if you and the kids are looking for something fun to do at the weekend, head down to Phoenix Park and enjoy all the wonderful festivities. The event will take place from 11am-5pm and is free for everyone.
