Cricket Tournament, Running for the PEACE

- MANNAM International Victory Cup Cricket Tournament -

Finally MANNAM International Victory Cup cricket tournament progressed from October 6^th to 27^th came to an end. We grow up much more than last year, and we still make an effort to tell our MANNAM spirit, the PEACE.

Cricket tournament was held only in Busan. Cricket teams from many regions who heard that MANNAM held second cricket tournament wanted to participate. As they really wanted to participate in tournament, they actively engaged. We were surprised at their passion.

Games were progressed favorably. Compared with last year cricket tournament, we got skill to progress the event, tournament’s scale became bigger. Players started games with the big hope of the first place. Even though they are from different countries and have different career, they looked the same goal.

However, the first place could be the one team. Hazara Pak won the first place in succession, and Changwon Lackers won the second place. Although they contended the victory, two teams were delighted with dance. After the game, they gather round and dance together. There was no loser’s sorrow or winner’s conceit. Just there was joy.

In this time, I was satisfied that we handed them the peace with different shape. We did hand printing follow the peace mark on the banner with our message; Different color, different size, but same mind to peace. Also we took pictures with the paper which is written world peace with MANNAM.  It was meaningful work and I’m happy to gather more people who join and proceed with our sprit. 

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] MANNAM Busan South Soccer Game

 MANNAM Busan South has the soccer team, Titans. We play soccer game every weekend. It's Sunday today. At silla university soccer field, MANNAM Titans started playing soccer games at 2:30.
There were 9 pals; We had new pals and there were some pals that I haven't seen for a while. That's why I couldn't see those who usually came around to the field.
We all had a good time playing the soccer game although there were some pals who couldn't play the game for a long time.
There were two Korean opponent teams and they were teams of our team leader Hong-gu's friends. We blew out both of them.
At the break time, we introduced our new manager(MANNAM volunteer members) and also talked about the 3rd victory cup.
Well, the humid weather's going on and it's making us exhausted. But please cheer for Titan team, since our skills are improving and we are becoming intimate. Thanks a lot.
