On 19th July 2026, the Delta Sports Complex transformed into a vibrant hub of community spirit and sporting action as Caregiving Welfare Association (CWA) hosted its flagship fundraising event, the Strike For Care Charity Futsal 2026. This event was a testament to CWA's unwavering commitment to supporting seniors and their caregivers in Singapore. As Singapore's population ages rapidly – with projections indicating that 1 in 4 residents will be aged 65 and above by 2030 – CWA organised this tournament to raise awareness about the growing caregiving needs in the community and to rally support for the unsung heroes who provide care for their loved ones . Throughout the day, the emcee, Sebastian, skilfully guided the proceedings, ensuring that the event's message of compassion and community resonated with every participant and attendee.
The Strike For Care Charity Futsal 2026 was conceived to promote healthy lifestyles through sports, foster community spirit, and raise vital funds for CWA's essential programmes. The tournament featured two categories: an Open category for mixed teams aged 18 and above, and a Youth category for boys aged 13 to 17, bringing together futsal enthusiasts from all walks of life . Teams competed in a spirited 5-on-5 format, with rolling substitutions and a tournament structure that began with a group stage before advancing to the knockout rounds. The emcee, Sebastian, kept the energy high as players showcased their skills on the four outdoor futsal courts at Delta Sports Complex, while families and supporters enjoyed a carnival-like atmosphere with engaging activities on the sidelines.
Caregiving Welfare Association (CWA) is a non-profit Social Service Agency dedicated to supporting seniors and their caregivers in Singapore. Registered with the Registry of Societies and an Institute of Public Character (IPC) by the Ministry of Health, CWA envisions empowering caregivers and enriching seniors' lives, facilitating dignified ageing at home and in the community.

The emcee, Sebastian, highlighted these impactful programmes throughout the day, reminding everyone of the tangible difference their support would make.
The event was graced by distinguished guests, including Dr Tan, the President of CWA, who delivered a welcome speech that set the tone for a day of purpose and solidarity.
