FAQ

Got Questions?

Everything you need to know about the Soccer Factory World Cup Challenge.

How does the wristband work?
+
When you arrive, you register and we hand you your ESA wristband. Then just walk up to any challenge station, tap in, and play — the wristband automatically records your score every time you compete. No manual entry, no delays. Your points go straight to your country's total on the live leaderboard.
Can I come back more than once?
+
Absolutely — as many times as you want before July 18th! Each visit is $25 per 45-minute session. Or grab the World Cup Pack for $60 and get 3 sessions — that's a $15 saving. More visits = more points = more chances to be MVP.
Do my points add up between visits?
+
Yes! Every point you earn on every visit goes toward your chosen country's total on the global leaderboard. Your scores accumulate throughout the entire competition (June 8 – July 18), so the more you play, the higher your country climbs.
How are Group Stage teams organized?
+
When you register your team, Soccer Factory will conduct a random draw to assign groups. Groups are divided by age (U8, U10, U12, U14, U16, U18, Adults) and division (Recreational or Competitive). You choose your division at registration — Soccer Factory assigns your group and schedule.
Are walk-ins welcome for the Group Stage?
+
Yes! Walk-in teams are welcome on June 18 & 19 on a first-come, first-served basis. Walk-in teams must enter from Round 1 to be eligible to advance. Pre-registration is strongly recommended to guarantee your spot.
What if my country isn't on the list?
+
No problem! Just select Other in the country selector and type your country name. Your points will be tracked under your country and we'll add it to the official leaderboard.
Do I need to choose a country in advance?
+
You can choose your country when you register online or when you arrive at Soccer Factory. Once you pick a country, all your future session points automatically go to that nation — so pick wisely and start earning!
Who wins the Grand Prize?
+
The competition closes July 18th. The player who contributes the most individual points to the winning nation will be crowned the Soccer Factory World Cup MVP and receive the Grand Prize — including a personalized video from real soccer legends.
Is the competition open to all ages?
+
Yes! The Individual Challenge is open to all ages. The Group Stage has dedicated age brackets: U8, U10, U12, U14, U16, U18, and Adults — so everyone competes fairly against players in their own age group.
