Cowal International Youth Soccer Festival 2010

The Cowal Soccer Festival 2010 was a great success, with an exit survey amongst participating teams, officials and spectators producing the following results,

  • All considered the event well organised, and along with the facilities etc, were a credit to the area
  • All indicated they would return to the area, and looked forward to future events
  • Of the £17,000 cost of the event, approximately £13,000 was spent with local businesses. The exceptions to these were advertising costs incurred with National newspapers, and referees costs.
  • Teams, officials, spectators, spent another £14,000 approximately locally.

The main sponsors of the Event were Awards for All, EventScotland, and Argyll & Bute Council, but the event was also supported by financial sponsorships and in-kind support from many local businesses.
