A few weekends ago there was a soccer tournament held by the local chief between the villages in his district. The chief governs the area of land given to him (he is the head of the ‘Gemeinde’ of this area). He wants the villages to have more contact with each other, so he holds a soccer game every year. This year there were four villages competing. They are called: Behenase, Abidjan Nkwanta, Nnuaso and Abuotem!
The tournament lasted all day! The style the soccer players play is very different from how we play in Switzerland. They play on a dirt field (there is no grass) and the ground is very lose, so they had to be careful not to fall! The teams played really rough and were not afraid to body tackle another player. It did not look very friendly… also some of the players did not wear shoes! They played only in their socks! But the people watching the game were all very happy, friendly and all enjoyed the games very much!
After a hard and tough games at the end of the day, one team (Behenase) had won the tournament! Mr. Amankwah, a teacher at our school, plays for one of the teams (but he could not play that day, because he had to teach). His team came 3rd.
