AzG Charity Cup: Playing for Peace
Unite for Peace. UNICEF popularised the catch phrase when it teamed up with FIFA in promoting peace through football. Last weekend, 14 non-government organisations fielded teams for the annual AzG Charity Cup held at the AVV Sloterdijk in Amsterdam. Greenpeace defended its line against the likes of Amnesty International, Plan Nederland, Oneworld, AzG, and Cross Your Borders, among others. Aside from Greenpeace, I also played two matches for Chinese Radio Amsterdam (I scored a goal in one of those matches ü). Not bad. The Greenpeace side won three matches and lost two to finish at 8th place. Oneworld won the tournament by beating Amnesty International in the finals. In the end, however, everyone was a winner. Great game!
Kudos to our team captain Martijn van Rouveroy for leading the team!
