The day was about showcasing skills and encouraging a passion for soccer from a young age.
The annual event was held at Fairmont Gardens and over 70 teams participated in a range of age groups from under 6 to under 11.
The games began at 9am on the day and the weather was spectacular with everyone having a great time.
Rebecca Buerckner from Wauchope Soccer Club said the gala day in 2019 was the biggest yet.
"It was fabulous, really amazing to see so many kids and families come together for an awesome day," Ms Buerckner said.
"We have 700 players in over 70 teams play over the day and it definitely was out biggest day yet. It was so fantastic to see so many families come together for soccer but lots of new friends were made as well.
"It was also really great for the kids to play against kids they don't usually play on the weekend and everyone had such a great day."
Ms Buerckner also said it was wonderful that local businesses could support a family friendly event.
"The gala day was a fundraiser for our club and we managed to raise $500 for Motor Neurone Disease with our raffle," she said.
"Thank you so much to all the local businesses in Wauchope and the Hastings who supported us and we can't wait to do it again next year."
