Welcome To The Beginning of A Beautiful Soccer Friendship Between Honduran and African Football

A Soccer Team From Nigeria Opened The Door To Friendship With The People of Intibuca

In November of 2004, The Abuja Unity Boys Of Nigeria came to play soccer here in Honduras.  They played in two tournaments, one in Siguatepeque - the COPA Honduproex and the 2004 Torneo Internacional Intibucana  Unfortunately for those of us in Intibuca, these players from Nigeria won both the COPA Honduproex and the Torneo Internacional Intibucana.  But the people of Intibuca were very happy and all of these players were welcomed by Honduran Youth  in the Liga Menor de Fútbol Intibucana.  Because of this wonderful gesture the people of Honduras, especially the people of La Esperanza, Intibuca are reaching out to the people of Nigeria,

Why Play In The AfroCarib2007?

Why play soccer across continental boundaries?  Why do so many soccer teams want to travel thousands of miles to compete in other countries?   Isn't it because soccer is a worldwide community?  The rules are the same everywhere.  What is different is the style of play.

To play at the international level means knowing how to compete against your fellow soccer players from other soccer traditions. What is the best soccer tradition in the world?  What makes a winning team?  Many African teams are made up of players from the same ethnic group, often the same tribe. That means their style of play is the same.  Maybe your team has been very successful playing in your country because you have only had to compete with players from your own culture.  But if you want to move to the international scenes you are going to have to get a taste of competition against other soccer cultures and other soccer styles.

We believe the best soccer style is made up of all the soccer traditions in the world. African teams need to travel outside the continent to experience other playing styles.  In the Western Hemisphere we are made up of so many different races and groups that our soccer youth experience just about any style that exists.  What has emerged is called "Run and Gun".

 Here in the Western Hemisphere we call our teams made up of many groups a hybrid team.  Western Hemisphere teams are built  with hybrid vigor.  Hybrid vigor is the result of the mixing of races.  That's why the Brazilians are so good.  They combine African blood, Indian Blood with European blood.  We think the hybrid vigor that results makes a better soccer team. 

Your team can tap into this hybrid vigor by coming to play against our teams.  Learn from these different styles.  Share your style with them.  Create friendships that will last a lifetime.  And come with the plan to Win.

 What's the best way to create a winning soccer team? Come to the  AfroCarib2007 and find out.

Are You Up To Playing Against the Multicultural Teams of the Western Hemisphere?  Only One Way To Find Out! And That's By Entering And Winning The AfroCarib2007 Trophy.
