Nepali-based soccer teams from all around the country are vying for the big prize in the annual Tenzing Hillary Cup Football Tournament . Seven teams took part in Christchurch in 2017.

It's organised by local Nepalese Associations, who are also involved in raising cash for earthquake recovery projects back home.
