Hello,
The Robbie International Soccer Tournament is pleased to announce our new partnership with HTG Sports Services (HTG). We have entered into a multiyear agreement whereby HTG is providing complete travel and accommodation services for our annual tournaments.
Effective immediately, HTG will be responsible for the handling of all tournament hotel arrangements including negotiations, contracts, and rooming lists. HTG will be in contact with you shortly to discuss our upcoming requirements. Any incoming inquiries for our tournament should now be passed directly on to HTG (1-800-668- 5596) to manage. Please note that if any teams have attempted to rebook for this year, please ensure that they are brought to the attention of HTG, ensuring a smooth transition.
I thank you in advance for your consideration and the support you have shown our organization.

Hello, 2022 Robbie Tournament and Festival Participants!
We are very excited to announce that the 2023 Robbie Festival and Tournament is now accepting team registrations for the 2023 Festival and Tournament. Many club teams and organizations have participated in the Robbie year after year raising over $1.7 million since 1967 as we work to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis research in Canada. We truly appreciate your support. We hope we can count on your continued involvement in 2023!
Our festival and tournament in 2022 raised over $20,000.00 for Cystic Fibrosis and was successful due to your participation. We did receive feedback that some teams experienced administrative and/or logistical challenges in participating that made the experience less enjoyable than normal. We take that feedback seriously, as we want and expect The Robbie to be at the top of every team’s list to play in every year. As such, we have made changes to our processes this year and we feel that the 2023 Robbie Festival and Tournament will be better than ever for all involved.
We are also looking for volunteers to support our festival and tournament. If you are interested in being a field convenor, or assisting with set-up and takedown on weekends, or assisting with the registration of teams on game days, or simply being a member of our Committee, please call 289-314-5588. Come join our team and assist in making The Robbie a great Festival and Tournament.
Thanks again for your support, and we look forward to see you on the pitch this summer!
