2010 World Cup Kick off: Inter-counsular Soccer Tournament, June 10, 2010
One day before the kick off of real the World Cup in South Africa, the Consulates of the Boston area competed in their own Tournament on the fields of Harvard University. Organized by the French Consulate General and swissnex Boston, the competition gathered teams from the consulates of Great Britain, Israel, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Switzerland, France and the Swiss National Startup Team, the Venture Leaders.
After many tight games in difficult weather conditions (a very British mist and light rain), the best team did win. Check the video below to find out who won our local World Cup (just a hint: they have not won the real World Cup since 1966)
Besides the success of the event, we were delighted that the event got such a nice media coverage. Please listen to the NPR radio show “Only a Game” aired on June 19th that reported the event with a lot of humor. LISTEN NOW (link 2) and read the related article.
