TOUCH Football Singapore (TFS) will be sending two teams for the first time to compete in the Youth Trans Tasman Touch Series in New Zealand.

It will be held at the Trusts Stadium, Waitakere, Auckland, from Jan 14 to 17.

Originally planned as the 2009 Youth World Cup, the tournament was cancelled by organisers because of financial difficulties. It was eventually reinstated under a new name.
