A Rotorua seven-a-side football team have won the right to represent the region at a national football tournament in Wellington.
The U&I Football Cup was held at Neil Hunt Park on Saturday to celebrate Race Relations Day.
The annual seven-a-side competition is organised by Multicultural Rotorua and attracted 11 teams and more than 100 players at the weekend.
Local sides Ngati by Nature and Hotspurs met in the final, with Ngati by Nature winning the final 3-0.
Multicultural Rotorua president Alexis LewGor said the winning team would represent the region at a tournament in Wellington in November.
