:: FARE Action Week 2006 ::
Date and venue
On the 14th and 15th of October we have organized our second tournament as a part of the Football Against Racism in Europe Action Week. The event took place at the school Społeczne Gimnazjum #20 at Raszyńska St., Warsaw.
Games
We invited 8 teams – over 60 players: Polish pupils and refugees from Africa (Angola, Cameroon, Congo, Sierra Leone , Togo), Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kazakhstan, Vietnam. On the first day we had elimination games in groups. The Vietnamese team turned out to be a revelation of this day but surprisingly they lost on the first semi-final on the day after. The best African team lost the second semi-final thus in the final two Polish teams met. The younger boys won and so they took the main prize – a ball signed by famous Polish football players: Ebi Smolarek (Borussia Dortmund) and Maciej Żurawski (Celtic Glasgow). Additionally, all the participants were given t-shirts. After the games we had a multicultural picnic with African and Polish food. Gazeta Wyborcza (leading Polish newspaper) related the event on the 16th of October.
