Kuwait will be one of 27 countries hosting the debut of a unique sporting tournament: Red Bull Four 2 Score, a 4v4 competition with international qualifiers held across the globe in preparation for the world finals, which will take place in Germany later this year.
Teams of 4 will go head-to-head during the Kuwaiti leg, kicking off with the male qualifiers from the 4th of May until the 9th at 5:30 pm, held in Kuwait University, Mashael Al Jahra, and Boulevard Fields, respectively. Additionally, the tournament includes female qualifiers, held on the 10th at 5:30 pm at Boulevard Fields. Once the qualifiers are done, the qualifying male and female teams will move on to the national finals on the 11th of May at Argan Bedaya.
The winning male and female teams, along with the other international winners, will head to Red Bull Leipzig in Germany later this year with the aim of becoming the first Red Bull Four 2 Score World Final Champions. The world final will also play host to French footballer and global Red Bull Athlete Séan Garnier.
The new tournament challenges amateur footballers between the ages of 16 and 35 to put their best small-field, 4v4 football skills to the test. Teams of 4 players and 1 substitute go battle it out in 10-minute matches with no breaks and no goalies. The rules and concept of the tournament are designed to allow participants to experience Red Bull’s unique “power football” philosophy firsthand. But the most crucial twist is the first and last minute, during which every goal scored will be doubled, so players must score when it matters.
