Football Against Racism in Europe - FARE - fights through football all forms of discrimination in football: in the stadiums, on the pitches, in the changing rooms, at the training grounds, in the offices and classrooms; by fans, players, managers, coaches, administrators or educators. Everyone should be free to play, watch and discuss freely, without any fear.
Living In Friendship Together (LIFT) has taken the opportunity, thanks to the FARE Action Week, to organise a morning 5 a-side football league on the 26th of October 2008. Five teams participated. The teams consisted of four Maltese teams and one refugee team residing at Dar Liedna, Fgura. The league started at 09:30hrs and ended at 12:30hrs, where each team played against each other.
The team players, who ranked first, second, and third were rewarded a trophy denoting their rank in the league. It was a joyful experience for all the players. LIFT assigned two referees from the Malta Football Association (MFA) to monitor the matches. One could note that all the teams played professionally and fair.
LIFT, being an Augustinian organisation within the Millennium Chapel, believes in fighting racism of every kind. This was a good opportunity to enhance intercultural relationships through the biggest sport in the world.
LIFT would like to take the opportunity to thank all the persons involved to make this event happen. Special thanks go to Conrad Dimech who was the main organiser from LIFT. Readers are all invited to continue the discussion on this blog by sending comments to this post and share your views about this event.

Kien avveniment sabih fejn stajt nosserva li l-imhabba ghal dan l-isports qatlet kull tip ta' differenza bejn il-partecipanti. huwa sabih li tara l-entuzjazmu ta' dawn iz-zghazagh u anke tinduna li hemm it-talent f'xi uhud!
Prosit tal-organisation u donnu li konna mifthiema mat-temp ukoll ghax ezatt kif spicca kollox u inqala' l-ahhar banner infethu bwieb is-sema!
I did not attend this football activity. But have these thoughts about football.
1) In football sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, like in life.
2) In football you win by luck and work together, like in life
3) In football all players must play as a team. Just is in any team such as in the workplace, in the family, in youth groups, and others.
4) Football unites nations, especially in the World Cup. Why don’t the world be united at all times as it becomes in every World Cup?
5) Why don’t you play football, and not only seeing it?
Regards
Pierre.
