The Street Soccer Tournament is a strong signal of tolerance in action. Children and young people come together here regardless of their origin, language or social background. They experience that fair play, respect and togetherness are crucial - on the pitch as well as in everyday life. These values are indispensable for an urban society based on solidarity.
