WCC 9th 3/4 DATES

The World Controllers´ Cup

Hello footballers around the world!

It will come as no surprise that COVID-19 has wrecked the plans of everyone. However, we would like to present a light at the end of the tunnel. We have been working hard to put together the WCC 9 and 3/4 – a tournament with a twist!

We say this because it will not be an 11-a-side tournament but a 7-a-side tournament which will take place over 4 nights and 5 days in Dubai. The reason for the smaller teams is the short timescale involved in launching the programme plus the difficulties in ATSUs trying to arrange time off for the numbers required to compete in an 11-a-side event.

The safety of our participants is paramount and we have been working with the authorities in Dubai regarding this.

As per their guidelines, anyone entering Dubai needs to have paperwork to show a negative Covid test, 96 hours prior to arrival in Dubai. Furthermore, participants will have Covid tests on arrival and temperature checked on a daily basis to ensure the safety of everyone at the event.

We hope you will be able to attend with your team and we can enjoy playing the beautiful game once more.

Yours in sport
Allan Beattie

President
WCC Executive Committee

The World Controllers´ Cup was born as an idea to get together air traffic controllers from all over the world. To continue developing our friendship while playing our most favorite sport: Football. What started as crazy and somehow impossible idea back in 2009, today has gathered over 28 ATCo teams, and more than 40 nationalities competing for the world ATC champion.

We have proudly grown into a global and unique family. Join us!

WCC 2020 LOCATION

Dubai, UAE

Not long ago a small fishing town in the Gulf, Dubai is today one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. Home to nearly 200 nationalities, that offers a truly memorable experience to all visitors. Whether it is by the river banks of the Creek, or at the top of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, Dubai lives and breathes a sense of possibility and innovation. And with an unparalleled coastline, beautiful desert and magnificent skyscrapers, more WCC memories are just waiting to be made.

To combat the coronavirus pandemic, Dubai has implemented stringent protocols throughout the city. From the moment you land at the airport, and throughout your stay Dubai´s authorities are taking precautions
