When spreadsheets give way to sliding tackles, you
know it’s time for FXCubic’s annual football tradition. Financial firms from around the world are gathered in
Limassol for a football tournament that blurs the line between business rivalry
and sporting camaraderie.

The FXCubic Mini-Football Tournament, now in its fourth year, is held at Wembley Mini Football in Ypsonas and features 16
teams drawn from across the trading and brokerage world.

The exciting soccer sensation, organized by the
fintech specialist FXCubic, brings together top FX industry brands, including
brokers and technology providers, for an evening of fierce but friendly football
competition.

Second Round

Round Two of the FXCubic Mini-Football Tournament brought more decisive results as teams looked to gain early momentum. Match-Prime edged past Tickmill 1-0 in a closely fought contest, sealing the win with a single goal that proved enough to separate the sides.

Exness, on the other hand, cruised to a 4-0 win over LP Prime, dominating the match with confident attacking play and solid defense.
FX Dealing Solutions (FXDS) secured a 2-0 victory over Scope Markets, controlling possession and converting key chances to claim their first win.

HF Markets also impressed with a 4-0 win against INGOT Brokers, applying constant pressure and making their mark as early contenders. With two rounds now complete, the competition is heating up as teams fight for a place in the knockout stage.
