In just five years, the Ancaster Heritage Days soccer tournament has grown nearly as big as the festival of the same name.
More than 5,000 soccer players aged eight to 18 and 10,000 spectators will fill virtually every soccer pitch in Ancaster beginning tonight.
Ancaster Soccer Club president Jim Bethune said this year's tournament features 255 teams who will play nearly 500 games in three days.
About 40 teams were turned away this year, but organizers now have three additional fields to play with thanks to the newly added park site at the former Jerseyville Road landfill.
The new fields were unveiled on Thursday, just in time for the tournament.
