WINNIPEG, MB., August 15, 2025 – The 2025 Grey Cup Festival is proud to announce the launch of the MacDon Youth Flag Football Tournament, to be played indoors at the WSF Indoor Complex South and North throughout September and October. The winning team in each division will receive 20 tickets to the 112th Grey Cup game on November 16, 2025.
“As more youth take up flag football in our province, we wanted to ensure the sport had a place in the Grey Cup celebrations,” said Jennifer Thompson, Executive Director of the 2025 Grey Cup Festival. “We are grateful to MacDon and Globe Property Management for helping us inspire the next generation of fans and players.”
