NEWS

Each week, we will highlight one member of our CMF team. We would like to provide you with ‘behind the scenes’ news on our operations, and can get to know a little bit more about the people working for the Canadian Minifootball Federation (CMF)! We have asked each of our team members the same eight questions, to provide a broad perspective on what they bring to the CMF team.

In today’s post, we meet our members of the Tournament Committee of the Canadian Minifootball Federation (CMF) – Lukas Pupik. He will reveal to us his responsibilities and the role that he plays in this ambitious project.
