Soccer Celebration With A Purpose
Greetings! Thank you for taking the time to visit the Atlanta International Soccer Fest 2010 site. Over the course of the next few months, you can keep checking back for more updates. Here’s a little introduction for you:
The South African-American Chamber of Commerce (SAACOC) and the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Southern US, Inc. (GACC South) have spearheaded an initiative in Atlanta to celebrate the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™. Several bilateral Chambers of Commerce & Consulates, the World Trade Center Atlanta, and community organizations have joined the Atlanta International Soccer Fest 2010 campaign. Festivities will be taking place from June 11 to July 11, 2010, alongside the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™.
Proceeds from the event will be donated to SOS Children’s Villages USA, , the world’s largest organization dedicated to orphaned and abandoned children, and SOS’ emergency relief efforts in Haiti. Since its founding in 1949, SOS Children’s Villages has expanded to 500 villages in 132 countries. They are currently raising over 80,000 children in their villages. Through their many education, family strengthening, medical, and outreach programs, they impact the lives of over 1 million people each year.

Hi! My family and I are really excited about Saturday’s Mini World Cup tournament! My question is, once we pay the $5 per person entry fee for the festivities, can we come and go without having to pay again for re-entry? Thank you.
Hey Tonya! Yes, once you pay the $5 entry fee (all of which will be donated to SOS Children’s Villages) you’ll be given a bracelet and allowed to come and go as you please. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Will there be future Tournaments and how do you find out about them ?
