FAQs:
What is the refund policy?
* Refunds will be allowed on or before May 15, 2025 but not after this date*

How can I register with a team?
When registering, please select the team/Masjid you wish to join. Each team will have 20 spots, and registration for a team will close once all 20 slots have been filled.

Why is each team affiliated with a Masjid?
Each team is affiliated with a local Masjid to not only cultivate comradery and Brotherhood on the field, but also to galvanize their hearts with their Masjid. They will also do so by gathering at least once weekly, at a mutual time of their team’s choosing, at their affiliated Masjid. In this way we hope to develop each team’s physical strength and stamina, but also uplift them spiritually. To be eligible to play, a player is required to attend at least 75% of their team’s gatherings at their respective Masjid.

What is the structure of the league?
The 8 teams will be divided into 2 groups, each with 4 teams. Each week that the league plays, a team will have a game of 90 mins (two 40-minute halves divided by 10 minutes for half-time). During the course of the season, each team will play every other team at least once, and will play the teams in their group twice for a total of 10 regular season games. Thereafter there will be a round-robin style playoff season, which will take place over the 3 weeks and will conclude with the Grand Finals.
