Anti-Racism World Cup 2010

Anti-Racism World Cup 2010
July 16-18


Donegal Celtic FC
Suffolk Road
Belfast Northern Ireland BT17

"For the last three years teams have traveled from across the world to play against teams from various ethnic minority groups and from local communities in Belfast and across Ireland.

Last years tournament involved over 500 local people and 100 international guests and was a showcase for Anti-Racism against a backdrop of an upsurge of racist attacks in Belfast.

This year we intend to bring more teams to Belfast, including for the first time a Palestinian youth team, and we intend to make the tournament the largest anti-racist event in Ireland in 2010."
