For the second year in a row, Squadron Energy’s Sapphire Wind Farm sponsored teams playing in the Joeys Mini World Cup in Inverell.

The inaugural Joeys Mini World Cup was held in Inverell in 2010 and was founded by Inverell’s Heinrich Haussler. Over the next eight years, the tournament expanded to 48 teams.
Mr Haussler said this year the event was expected to attract more than 50 teams.
“This year we expect over 2,000 visitors with about $1.8 million being injected into the Inverell economy,” Mr Haussler said.
“Teams come from across NSW, QLD and Victoria, and we offer awards for players to tour Germany, which has given many players a stepping stone to play professional football overseas.”
The Mini World Cup was held at Inverell on Friday 27 September to Monday 30 September.
Each of Squadron Energy’s projects has a community sponsorship program, which provides funds or in-kind support to community organisations and events in the local project area.
Sapphire Wind Farm is the largest operational wind farm in New South Wales. During construction it created 259 jobs and injected $25 million into the regional economy.
