About the ISTNL Tournament

The ISTNL Tournament is an annual soccer competition organized by the International Soccer Tournament Newfoundland and Labrador (ISTNL) Organization. It brings together diverse communities, immigrants, and residents to celebrate soccer, promote wellness, and build connections.

The tournament is open to all residents and immigrants in Newfoundland and Labrador, regardless of skill level. Teams can register under various categories, including youth, amateur, and competitive divisions.

Teams can register online through our website by filling out the registration form and paying the applicable fees through e-transfer to payment@istnl.ca. Visit our Registration Page for details.
