Reclink Community Cup started in 1993 as a charity football match between Melbourne’s Espy Rockdogs and Tote FC, and has become a staple of the Australian music scene’s cultural calendar. Locally, it was initially a competition between media and musicians, but is now open to all creatives and people wanting to support a great cause.

Gates open at 12pm with family-friendly fun, and a whole lot of community atmosphere. Tickets are available online or at the gate, all to raise money for a great cause, Reclink Australia’s sport and recreation programs.

The support from our partners, sponsors, football and music industries, and the wider community is amazing and is the reason we can hold the event year after year.
