From the chair: The 7th ECSA Six a Side 2012

 ecsa20yearsThe warm sun is heating up a football stadium, 850 schoolchildren are cheering out loud, a military band is playing, 2 professional singers are singing the national anthem and other songs. As the 13 participating teams from 11 countries march in the stadium, the opening ceremony looks impressive. Children, dressed in T-shirts with the ECSA 20 years anniversary logo, carried not only the national flags but also the ECSA flag, the European flag and the Respect and Fair play flag. The organizer of the Maltese customs administration, Eamon Bugeja can be proud. All the work he did, together with Frank Agius and other team members paid off. Where in Europe have we seen 850 children creating such a cheerful atmosphere during an opening ceremony?
