What is the Ali Cup?
Ali Cup is a pre-season high school football tournament held each year in Kingston, Jamaica. It's a chance for young players to compete, grow, and have fun — all on one of Jamaica's most storied football grounds.
Great Football
High school teams from across Jamaica compete in a well-organized tournament with professional referees and a fair format.
Community First
More than just a competition — it's a gathering for families, friends, and football fans to come together and support the next generation.
Student Athletes
We celebrate players who work hard on and off the field. Academics and good character are just as important as skill with the ball.
A Stage to Shine
With coaches and scouts in attendance, it's a real opportunity for young players to show what they can do.
How It Works
The tournament runs over several days with a simple, exciting format that gives every team a fair shot.

Teams are placed into groups and play round-robin matches. Every game matters — results determine who moves on.
Knockout Rounds
Top teams advance to quarter-finals and semi-finals. Single elimination — win or go home.
