The 29th All Together Cup: Promoting Unity and Diversity in Thuringia
The small town of Geisa in Thuringia, Germany, recently played host to the 29th edition of the All Together Cup, an annual integrative football tournament that fosters inclusion and intercultural dialogue. Despite limited information available from recent search results, the tournament's significance in promoting unity and diversity is well-known.
The event kicked off with Jörg Schunke, the program leader, opening the tournament. Schunke took the opportunity to thank all those involved and praised the excellent sports facility in Geisa as an ideal venue for the integrative tournament.
A special reunion off the pitch took place between Geisa's Paul Gimpel and Peter Brenn, both referees who had officiated in the DDR league. This heartwarming moment added a touch of nostalgia to the tournament, underlining the event's commitment to fostering connections between people from diverse backgrounds.
Martin Bernhard, honored as the "good soul" of the Intercommunal Leisure Facility in Geisa (IKF), was also thanked for his contributions. Bernhard's dedication to the community and the tournament was evident in his tireless efforts to make the event a success.
The tournament aims to promote integration through sports sustainably. The All Together Cup symbolizes team spirit, respect, and fairness in football, regardless of religion or origin. This year's tournament was no exception, with five teams from Thuringia competing, including Pamir, Ariana, and Somalia, who finished in the top three positions and qualified for the Thuringia final in October in Erfurt.
The local mayor of Geisa, Angela Zimmermann, also attended the opening. In her speech, Zimmermann emphasized the importance of mutual openness. She stated that integration requires people who contribute and are supported with heart and energy. Her personal commitment and support for catering and refreshments for all players further demonstrated her dedication to the cause.
The tournament is organized by the Thuringian State Sports Association and the Thuringian Football Association, highlighting their commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion through sports. As the search for more detailed and up-to-date information continues, it is clear that the All Together Cup remains a vital part of the Thuringian sports and social landscape.
