Q: What do English seaside towns on the Sussex coast and Jewish and Arab villages in Northern Israel have in common?
A: Football – or more accurately ‘Football 4 Peace’.
Everyone is welcome to see this association in action at the Fans Happening in the Park in Tel Aviv on Friday 23rd March. From 12-4pm the Football 4 Peace (or F4P) project will be holding a mini football tournament for 160 Arab and Jewish children organised by the British Council and the Tel Aviv Municipality.
With thousands of England fans expected in Israel to support their national team, this event will also be a unique chance for making connections between football fans. Come and support various British teams as the kids will be decked out in strips donated by Manchester United, Gretna FC, England 66, Ashford Town, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Crewe Alexandra and Norwich City. Israel and England fans unite to cheer them on!
UK football coaches from Brighton University will be working with their Israeli Jewish and Arab counterparts at the F4P tournament event in the Park, together with special guests from the UK and Israel including ex-West Bromwich Albion player Brendon Batson, British Ambassador Tom Phillips and local celebrities – we look forward to seeing you there on Friday 23rd March 12-4pm.
