“Soccer is more than just a game. Soccer can
create hope where there was once despair. I
remember how we, the prisoners on Robben
Island, played soccer to keep our spirits high
during the dark days of this country. The energy,
passion and dedication this game created made
us feel alive and triumphant”
Nelson Mandela

hope and creating great sporting moments.
