Shepparton Nations Cup

One of the best finals games we’ve ever had 🔥

➡️ 2 goals in 10 minutes from Mehmet Usyal
➡️ Sayed Fatemi equaliser last 10 minutes
➡️ Penalty Shoot out

We already want 2027 to come 👀

After 3 years, of sleepless nights, hard work, dedication, stress, determination and commitment to the Shepparton Nations Cup, something that I started and I loved more than anything, something that is a piece of my life and I’ve written something I can remember for generations. It is the most beautiful and rewarding thing I have achieved in my life, changing the football scene in the area and bringing the community together, doing what I loved the most and what I always wanted.

Unfortunately, after serious and prolonged struggles and circumstances in my life, I am no longer able to proceed with the Shepparton Nations Cup after 2026. These last 3 years of the event has changed many lives and my life for sure, and I want everyone to do the same and be inspired to move communities and create something positive for the world.

This has been an extremely hard and challenging decision to make, but my team refuses to continue without me, and they all respect to stand down together, which I appreciate and thank them for.

Moving forward, we say goodbye to the Shepparton Nations Cup, thank you to every single person that has ever supported me, every single one of you will always be remembered that you are also the reason this was something special.

Goodbye and best wishes to all.
Abbas - Founder and President.

🇦🇺 Aussies took it in 2024…
🇦🇫 Afghans took it in 2025…
🇹🇷 Turks took it in 2026…

That’s 3 of our 10 countries that play 🫣

Are we going to see a fourth country in 2027? Or will one of them win it again 👀
