Last weekend La Curacao celebrated the 2006 Soccer Tournament with the participation of more than 62 teams who competed to obtain the first place. Once again La Curacao was present in the event with the purpose of being involved with the Latin community by supporting the development of the young Hispanic athletic abilities. La Curacao wants to encourage the interest of the young people for sports so it becomes a part of their lives, both in the personal and professional development.
The unexpected participation of many teams forced to leave out of the competition at least 20 teams. Therefore, La Curacao has decided to increase its collaboration in the next tournament by duplicating the number of soccer fields in which the games will take place. With these new soccer fields La Curacao pretends to reinforce in the young people the values of friendship, effort and competitiveness that are need in the practice of a sport such as Soccer.
The tournament, which counted with the participation of young people from all ages up to 18 years old, began on Saturday, October 28th at 8 a.m. and finished on Sunday, October 29th in the afternoon during the distribution of trophies given by La Curacao. The members of the winning teams of the first, second, third and fourth places received trophies, medals and new uniforms. La Curacao also gave 150 soccer balls for the event.
The winning teams in their different divisions were Real Madrid, Nacional, Manchester, Deportivo Guerrero, Inter and UNAM. In the female category Manchester took the victory
The young athletes also had the opportunity to enjoy different activities and performances organized by La Curacao. The performance of the magician Mr. Alex and the dances of Brenda Ramirez catch a special interest of many of the young people. The players and assistants also enjoyed the inflatable structures around the field that entertained them between each free time of the games.
With its participation, La Curacao supported the organization
SCYSO in its mission to provide to the Hispanic youth an environment where they can develop themselves as individuals and athletes through soccer.
As a respectable member of the Hispanic community, La Curacao promotes different familiar events each year and it sponsors several organizations without lucrative purposes. Our intentions are to help the Latin community to stay healthy, active and strong.
