CORFU. All the North Corfu football academies, as well as many people, were present and there was great contribution.

We, Corfiots, have love and solidarity in our blood and this was shown once again in the charity tournament that took place on Sunday morning in Kassiopi to support the ‘Pisti’ (‘Faith’) Association that helps children with cancer.
 
All the North Corfu football academies, as well as many people, were present and there was great contribution made both by parents and other people for this cause.
 
The coach Manolis Rokidis, in collaboration with the referee Vaggelis Yiannakoudakis and with the support of the North Corfu Municipality, the AHEPA, the EPSK (Union of Corfu Football Clubs) and the many people who helped, organised this ‘Event of Love’ with great success.
 
The Ionian Football Academy Board, as the official organiser of the tournament, decided to establish it and name it after ‘Giorgos Mouzakitis’, the 22-year-old footballer who recently lost his battle with cancer.
