The Karadjordje Cup (Карађорђев куп) is a football tournament held each year in October with a different Australian city as the host. The Tournament is organized by the local Serbian Australian community.[1] The competing clubs have their roots within the Serbian Community but the players that participate reflect the Multicultural society that is Australia.
The first attempt to organize an annual football tournament that would bring together Serbian clubs from Australia took place in 1973. Then, the Avala football club from Sydney (today Bonnyrigg White Eagles FC) organised a tournament called "Nikola Tesla". Only three clubs participated in the tournament, in addition to Avala, FC Mona Vale White Eagles from Sydney and Mawson Serbia from Canberra reported their participation. This competition did not last long. During the 70s and 80s of the 20th century, there were several attempts to organize a football tournament on an annual basis, but without success. FC Belgrade Adelaide and Dianella White Eagles SC started playing mutual cup matches called "Karadjordjev Cup" in 1984. The first, real tournament, which gathered a large number of Serbian clubs from Australia, was organized by Avala from Sydney. The tournament was held on December 26 and 27, 1987, under the name "All-Serbian Transitional Cup Tournament". The title was won by the host of the FC Avala competition, beating the Westgate Sindjelic team from Melbourne in the finals with 4:3 on penalties, since the regular part of the game ended 1: 1. Since then, every year, a tournament of Serbian clubs called "Karadjordjev Cup" is organized in its current form. The only competition was not held in 2001. Until 1996, the rule was that the winner of the tournament had the honor of organizing the next tournament, but after that the cup was organized by agreement.
The Football Association of Australia made a decision in 1992 that all clubs must remove symbolic national symbols from their names, so some clubs were forced to change their names.

Sunday was another day of amazing atmosphere and action packed football. The Women's Grand Final saw some very competitive football played from both Westgate FC and Nobel Park Drina, after the full time whistle though Westgate FC would once again lift the trophy and be declared Kara Cup Women's Champions. This result made Westgate Sindjelic three time Womens champions and still undefeated at the Karadjordje Cup.
