The eight participating teams were divided into four groups of four and the tournament lasted a month. “We are satisfied with the event. A considerable evolution has been observed among young people, an opportunity also for educators who have just obtained the D Caf license to apply their skills” she continues. “After this pilot event, other regions or provinces will soon benefit from it. We will send the report of the event to the Caf and concoct the next ones. These decentralized tournaments will be rounded off by a festival whose cost of organization amounts to 4,000 USD,” explains the manager.
