The 2021 Southern Frontier Cup is the first edition of the Southern Frontier Cup, an international football tournament held in Surrey, England.[1][2] It was going to take place from 23 to 24 May 2020 in Whyteleafe, Surrey.[3] The competition was going to take place 1 week prior to the 2020 CONIFA World Football Cup in Skopje, North Macedonia, and was intended to serve as a preparation tournament for teams hoping to take part in the World Football Cup which was due to start on 30 May.[4][5] However, on 20 March 2020 International Surrey Football announced the tournament will be postponed until the summer of 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic.[6]

Format

The competition will have the format of a regular knockout competition. The winners of each of the two matches on the first day compete against each other for the Southern Frontier Cup, while the two losing sides play in a third-place match. The trophy will be contested over two days, with each day seeing two matches play back-to-back. Games will be played to 90 minutes if the teams are tied after this time then a penalty shootout will immediately follow.[7]
