Easton Cowboys/Girls Football Tour to Brasil 5/2009
Submitted by Simon on Fri, 2009-05-01 10:15.
This just came my way from the Easton Cowboys in Bristol, SW England. Austin Anarchist Soccer have played with them in Chiapas, Italy and Germany and can vouch for them being much better football players than we are. I'll add more as I get it. more below....
"Some of you already know of plans of the easton/cowboys/girls to go to sao paolo, brasil to meet up with los autonomos - antiracist/anarchist team based in the city - others maybe hearing this for the first time. it was decided not just to limit it to members of our organisation but to open it up to players/friends of other clubs we have encountered over the years...
a small party of us are heading out early to combine the trip with some travelling as well, but the football part of the trip will be running approximately may 15th to may 27th. i know it is an expensive trip - approx £550 is cheapest flight at moment [from UK] but accommodation will be provided (unless there are loads of us which i doubt) and also it could be a trip of a lifetime and as well extend our friendship in new areas.
several games have already been arranged - they have recently created under 17 team, los autonomos themselves, an expat team based out there and couple more. we can go to see brasilian football - our hosts are corinthians fans and the season will be on. we hope to have fun game against streetkids (this worked well when we played kids in palestine). re the streetkids - we are helping los autonomos try to buy land so the streetkids have somewhere proper to play, benefit gig here planned and also other benefits.
so if any of you or people from your organisations wish to participate you are more than welcome and have a warm invitation to join us. if so please let me know and i will provide more information. we are having a meeting this week and hope to finalise the exact dates
cheers for your time
