Great news : This competition is set to become an annual event - make sure your school is involved next year !

The World Cup Soccer will probably only come to African once in my lifetime. Here is a chance to share the hype, the enthusiasm and the positive energy that children in thiscountry feel right now. If Africa hopes to stage world events like this in the future, it will be in the hands of the very children we aim to involve right now.
