The anniversary tournament will be opened at 2:00 p.m. by City Councilman Alexander Hofmann and Katrin Thaler, Deputy Chief of the West Hesse Police Headquarters. Katrin Thaler and Christa Gabriel, the new mayor of Kastel, are serving as patrons of the event. At 2:30 p.m., the games will begin with elementary school students and teenagers. At the same time, there will be games and arts-and-crafts activities for children and parents. Around 6:00 p.m., Andreas Bockius, stadium announcer for Mainz 05, will honor the winning teams. 

A special feature this year is the partnership with the newly established Kastel Children’s Parliament. Its first resolution will be implemented immediately during the tournament. Under the title “Affordable Ice Cream on Hot Days,” the children proposed offering discounted ice cream to kids on warm days. The Kastel Local Advisory Council supported the proposal and provided 300 euros to make it happen. As a result, the “Eis Toni” ice cream truck will be on site at the Street Soccer Tournament, handing out free ice cream to the participating children and teens. 

The Street Soccer Tournament for Tolerance was first held in September 2016 with young people at the Kastel-Housing shared accommodation facility. Since then, the event has become a regular fixture designed to foster connections and break down prejudices through soccer. In recognition of their commitment, the 2nd Police Precinct and the Reduit Children’s and Youth Center were honored as early as 2018 in the “Good Practice Examples” category at the Lotto Hessen Fair Play Awards presented by the Hessian Soccer Association.
