Hot on the heels of their Trans Tasman rivals, Touch New Zealand have this week announced their Open & Senior teams to take on the best of the rest in the 2011 FIT World Cup in Scotland during the period 20th to 26th June.

The build up to the 2011 World Cup in Scotland continues, with England and Scotland finalising and naming their representative teams to fly the flag in Edinburgh.

The 2011 Federation of International (FIT) Touch World Cup will see 92 teams,from 28 countries, take to the field in the pursuit of global dominance over the period 20-26th June, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Whilst the 3 Open divisions showcase the event, the World Cup will be contested across 7 divisions in total, and will see 439 games played across the 5 day tournament.

Touch Football Australia (TFA) and Touch New Zealand (TNZ) are pleased to announce that the 2012 Trans Tasman Test Series will be held at Glen Willow Regional Sporting Complex in Mudgee, Australia, in April next year.

The 2011 FIT World Cup is now only four months away, and the action is hotting up across respective nations as they prep for the ultimate global showdown. Whilst a lot of focus will be on the premier Open divisions, the absence of noted powerhouses, Australia & New Zealand, in other divisions will see the competition thrown right open .. with an opportunity for the overal World Cup to perhaps be 'stolen' away by another competitor.
