[MANNAM International] MANNAM Busan South, TITANS(Soccer Team) played football _ MANNAM Sports Club

MANNAM Busan South 'TITANS' played football

 

 

 

It was a really cold day. But we were excited to play football against Pukyoung univ Chinese team and Silla univ Roar fc.

 

We didn't have enough players because of cold weather. Some of MANNAM Titans members were sick. Nevertheless, everyone enjoyed the matches. I can not say which was the winner team.

 

 

PKNU Chinese team and Titans had not enough players so that every team helped and blended together.(Someone said that It was 'rainbow match')

 

 

It was a nice day to know new chinese people in korea.

 

 

ps. feel sorry to friends injured from the match. take care.

MANNAM International Victorycup Final

Victory cup tounament final in Ga-pyeong with Saigon FC

   

   The Saigon FC from Vietnam won the Victory cup preliminary rounds in Busan south. So some of Busan MANNAM members and Saigon team players went to Ga-pyeong stadium near Seoul. Since Busan is so far from the stadium, we had to be in a hurry. Everyone got on the bus at 5 o'clock in the morning. When the bus departed for Ga-pyeong, it seemed that it would be long and tired journey. We all slept in the bus for about seven hours. However, as soon as we got off the bus at the stadium, we all excited to be part in the final Victory cup.

   All the players and MANNAM members from other cities in Korea were enthusiastic. They were ready to enjoy the day, 20th of October.

   Everything was set up for tournament participants, including the good boothes. Making badges, writing peace messages, experiancing Korean traditional games, etc. Variety activities made our long time event fun.

   The opening ceremony was awesome!

   

   All people from different countries had been one in the name of sports, MANNAM and PEACE.

   I hoped Saigon won the competition, but unfortunately the Saigon soccer team took 3rd place in the tournament.

   

   Little bit sad, but it was wonderful time. Not only i have got many new Vietnamese friends but also met Samy from Egypt who used to be a Busan MANNAM soccer team goal keeper.(You are still my teammate Samy :p)

   I hope to see everyone and play football together next competition again.

Peace upon you.

[MANNAM International Victory Cup] MANNAM International Victory Cup held in Eul-suk do

Hello! Warm hearted people!  I am Ji Hong-Gu. It has been almost 2 years since I joined MANNAM and Titans football team.

I took a part in the MANNAM International Victory Cup on August 25th, 2013 in Eul-suk do, Busan.

The Busan MANNAM South branch personnel helped participating teams from start to finish so that all participants could concentrate fully on matches. I know that, as a Korean, it is a really hard and difficult job to organize a multinational football/soccer competition; especially in terms of gathering so many participating foreigners, but they successfully did so for the sole purpose of promoting peace.

I have been particularly impressed by one thing since I have joined the MANNAM volunteer association. Usually many Koreans are hesitant to have a conversation with foreigners outside of an English academy. But MANNAM’s people are always making an attempt to be nice and kind to everyone, to practice peace regardless of nationality, race, religion, or language. Even some members who cannot speak a foreign language very well have been trying hard to encourage others to fully embrace the idea of peace and volunteerism.

That’s why the TITANS football team is the best team I have ever been a part of in my life. It has great team mates from different countries, religions, and physical make-ups. It is the best part of being with the Titans.
Titans took second place with a record of 1 win and 2 ties at the MANNAM International Victory Cup held in Eul-suk do (을숙도). All members were anxious to go to the finals in Ansan more than ever. But after the competition, nobody cared who the winner was. Instead they just encouraged each other and hoped each could go to the finals next time. The really good thing was that we met many new friends no matter who won in the end.
It was the football tournament that was able to remind us of peace and allowed us to enjoy football all together.

Anyone can organize a sports competition or take a part in one, but MANNAM sets itself apart by holding a sports competition in the name of peace; a peace that stems straight from their heart.
Thank you so much again. May we all live to see our world at peace.
