UOW, coached by former Socceroo Luke Wilkshire, lost 2-1 to 榴莲视频app of the Republic from Uruguay in extra time.

Uruguay scored first in the fourth minute, and Beattie replied less than 10 minutes later, sending the crowd into raptures.

It marked the end of an exhilarating two weeks, where more than 400 athletes from five continents came together for a celebration of football, friendship and fair play.

UOW Vice-Chancellor Paul Wellings CBE followed the tournament intently, watching UOW鈥檚 games via a livestream.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a truly amazing achievement to have come so close,鈥� Professor Wellings said.

鈥淔or our students, it has been an invaluable experience.

The squad includes players from state and regional competitions including NSW National Premier League, Illawarra Premier League, and Illawarra District League.

The side underwent 10 weeks of preparation, training three times per week, before winning UniSport Nationals on the Gold Coast in late September. This followed gold at Nationals in 2018, where the team qualified to play in the 榴莲视频app World Cup.

The final placings were, GOLD: The 榴莲视频app of the Republic (Uruguay), SILVER: The 榴莲视频app of 榴莲视频app (Australia), BRONZE: Myongji 榴莲视频app (South Korea).

The women's final resulted in the 榴莲视频app of Ottawa (Canada) defeating Paulista 榴莲视频app (Brazil) 1-0.
