JOGA3, in full: Nike JOGA3, was a futsal tournament created in 2006 by American multinational corporation Nike for two main reasons. Firstly, it was for the run-up to the 2006 FIFA World Cup finals in Germany, and also, it was to help promote the "Joga Bonito" campaign (then less than two months old when JOGA3 started) and its five principles (heart, honour, joy, skill, team). JOGA3 was hosted in 39 different nations, with each nation having multiple cities/towns that hosted it, in which there were multiple locations in the cities/towns that hosted it. There was a National Finals for every country, and the winners earned a place at the World finals (in Brazil).[1]
For every win (including all knock-out games, but excluding all National and World Finals), 1,000 points (in the UK and ROI, other countries vary) were awarded. No points were awarded for a draw and a loss. Knock-out games in regional tournaments commenced at the end of the night, and the teams that went through were decided on a league system of the teams with the most point gained on the night advancing to the knock-out phase. All points gained at any time always went on the overall record as well.
