Dutch ambassador opens football tournament
02 Sep 2010
Dutch ambassador Ron Keller will open the annual football tournament for Russian alumni, students and Dutch business people.
The tournament takes place on Saturday 25th of September at 13:30. Dutch ambassador Ron Keller will take part in the kickoff of the first match after both national anthems have been played.
The Dutch business community, who won the first tournament last year, will defend their 2009 title, and so the representative Russian teams are more than eager to win the 2010 cup.
This is the second year that Nuffic Neso and the Netherlands Club Moscow (NCM) are organizing the football event. This year the matches are being held at the football hall of USZK RGUFK, the Russian State University of Sport (www.uszk.ru, metro Cherkizovskaya).
For Russian alumni and students the football tournament is a great opportunity to play against Dutch managers and directors from well-known Dutch companies operating in Russia.
Russian alumni and students who are interested in taking part in this social sporting event, can write to the Alumni Officer of Nuffic Neso Russia, Olga Zabotina at alumni@nesorussia.org. Supporters are welcome too.
After the tournament an informal reception will be held.
