UN World Water Day Soccer Tournament |
UN World Water Day 7 a side Soccer Tournament – 22nd March 2009
To mark the annual UN World Water Day, volunteers from The Well Foundation organised a local 7 a side tournament at Wishaw Sports Centre in Lanarkshire.
Six teams participated in the event which comprised of players from regional areas in Lanarkshire such as Wishaw, Motherwell, Airdrie and Coatbridge.
The eventual winners of the tournament were a team made up of players from Hamilton and Cambuslang which included Andrew Livingston who was also awarded the Player of the Tournament prize by match officials.
Over £280 was raised from team entry fees as well as a food stall. This was a great achievement by the volunteers who arranged the event for the first time at such short notice. The cash raised will be vital in providing clean water for drinking and sanitation for some of the poorest people in the world. £15 is all it takes to provide clean water for one person for a whole year which makes the amount raised even more important. The money raised will go a long way in building and growing communities for a prosperous future.
