Clear your calendars and get your jerseys ready—the heat is coming back to the pitch!
Following an incredible championship run by Les Hirondelles (Burundi) last year, the most anticipated sports and cultural event in the region is returning for another unforgettable summer.
We are thrilled to announce that the 2026 CANGATO Tournament (Coupe d’Afrique des Nations-Gatineau Ottawa) will take place from:
📅 July 11th – August 15th, 2026
For six weeks, the Mont-Bleu Sports Complex in Gatineau will transform into a hub of elite soccer, vibrant music, and community pride. As the defending champions, our Burundi team is ready to hit the mark once again, but the competition is fiercer than ever!
What to Expect this Summer:
- High-Stakes Soccer: Watch the best talent from the African diaspora compete for the ultimate trophy.
- Cultural Celebration: Experience the food, music, and energy that make CANGATO a unique festival.
- Family Fun: A welcoming atmosphere for fans of all ages, including Intamba Junior activities.
