Tournament Details

I agree to participate in the football (soccer) Umoja Games 2025 (“Umoja Games”) organized by the Umoja Outreach Foundation (“Umoja”). I understand that football (soccer) is a potentially dangerous sport in which the risk of injury can be significant, and serious, harmful, permanent, and fatal injuries can and do occur. While particular rules, equipment, and personal discipline may reduce the risk of injury, the risk of serious injury does nonetheless exist. In consideration of my being allowed to participate in the Umoja Games, I hereby waive any and all claims whatsoever that I may sustain or become aware of during or known thereafter for damages against Umoja, its members, or any affiliates, agents, employees, and principals thereof, for injury, illness or loss howsoever incurred as a consequence of my participation.

I hereby give my consent to be treated by emergency medical personnel, a physician, or a surgeon in case of sudden injury or illness while participating in the Umoja Games. It is understood that the organizers will provide no medical insurance for such treatment and that the cost thereof will be at my expense.

I knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of the Umoja or others, and assume full responsibility for my participation in the Umoja Games. Umoja, its members, agents, employees, and principals from any liability whatsoever resulting directly or indirectly from any participation in any sports activity, sponsored operated or promoted by Umoja. I further agree to indemnify Umoja, its members, agents, employees, and principals against any injury, illness, harm, damage, loss, property damage, cost, or fear, including attorneys’ fees incurred directly or indirectly as a consequence of my participation in the Umoja Games and other events sponsored by Umoja.

I willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation in the Umoja Games. If, however, I observe any unusual significant hazard during my presence or participation, I will remove myself from participation and bring such to the attention of the nearest Committee member immediately.

I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representative and next of kin, hereby release and hold harmless Umoja, its agents, employees, principals, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, and if applicable, owners and lessors of the premises used to conduct the Umoja Games, with respect to any and all injury, disability, death, or loss or damage to person or property, whether arising from the negligence of Umoja or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law in both the State of Indiana and respectfully under the jurisdiction and the laws of either the of United States of America and/or Canada.
