Streetfootballworld Festival 2006

Today I visited the streetfootballworld Festival. This organization really captures what football is about, a way of bringing people together form all over the world and also using the sport’s universal popularity to promote social consciousness. The festival is like a mini-World Cup and mixed youth football teams from around the world compete for the Andres Escobar Copa de la Paz, in honor of the slain Columbian international.

I will be catching all the excitement and thrilling displays of football talent of this tournament all week. I wish all the teams the best of luck and I hope they will enjoy their time here in Germany and make great friends.
