BIFC Invitational Cup 2025

Tournament Winners BIFC Black

Last week we hosted the first ever BIFC Summer Invitational over the Labour Day long weekend. We had 60 players across 6 teams, with two teams coming from Bowen Island and another four from the mainland.

It was a fabulous day, with lots of great soccer played in the right spirit, culminating with a great after party at Bowen Island Pub.

We'll be bringing the competition back for 2026 and are looking forward to making it even better, so stay tuned for updates and let us know if you'd like to join the organizing committee.

Our 2025 event, the first of it's kind here on Bowen Island, was made up of six teams. Bowen Island Red, Bowen Island Black, Siaron FC, Liverpool OLSC, EA SPORTS FC & Unicorns FC. We were blessed with some fabulous weather and a really good standard of soccer.

Bowen Island Black were the eventual champions following a 4-2 comeback victory in what earlier in the day looked like a very unlikely final, given that both finalists only picked up 1 point in the group stage. Knockout soccer is an unpredictable beast though, and so it proved!

We're all looking forward to next year's event, but you can relive this years scores and see some photographs from the tournament here.
