SAHETI/CORINTHIANS FC MINI WORLD CUP AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOUT

Over 420 children will participate in the Saheti/Corinthians FC Mini World Cup tournament next Sunday, 6 June 2010 at the Greek Sporting Club in Senderwood.

In what is expected to be a spine-tingling moment, all 420 children will also perform the hit anti-crime song SHOUT. One of the founders of the SHOUT initiative, top artist Danny K (and perhaps Kabelo as well) will be there to spur them on. According to the organizers, this platform is being used to highlight a positive initiative “in the spirit of working towards a crime-free South Africa for these children.”

The opening ceremony starts at 09:30. Participating teams range in age from 3 to 14 years and will play in five divisions, each of which contains a number of country teams: South Africa , Greece , England , Brazil , Germany , Italy , Spain and Argentina . Each participant will receive a T-shirt and medal and the winning teams will receive trophies. ___________________________________________________________________________
