Poznan will be organising the World Cup in street football in 2013. The City had previously tried to organise the 2011 Cup, but that honour was won by Paris.
Street Football is a discipline practised in particular by the homeless. It can be played anywhere that a pitch 18 x 22 meters surrounded with bands can be set up.
Organisation of such an event and broadcasting of it to several dozen countries is, for the host city as well as for the whole country, a big promotion through a very honourable idea. |
