Fulda – Editor Linda Scherdin recommends a trip to the Fulda stadium today: In keeping with the “Day of Inclusion”, sport on Monday (June 15th) is all about community, respect and fairness. At the Fulda Cup, students from Fulda and people with disabilities compete against each other in inclusive soccer teams.
The organizer of the Fulda Cup is the association “Everyone is different – Inclusion Sport Fulda”, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. More than 20 teams are expected. The tournament is supported by the SG Barockstadt Fulda-Lehnerz, whose players accompany the teams.
The special thing about the inclusive football tournament: It is not the most goals that decide the victory – unlike for example on Sunday at the German national team's first game at the World Cup. Instead, fair play referees evaluate respectful interactions on the pitch. The fairest team can look forward to tickets for an Eintracht Frankfurt game.
The game is played with Fairtrade balls. In addition, a colorful supporting program with opportunities to participate awaits visitors. The welcome begins at 9:30 a.m., kick-off takes place at 10 a.m. And speaking of sport: from 4.30 p.m. on the stage at the environmental center as part of the Hesse day This year's sports awards ceremony for the city of Fulda took place.
