The Congolese Association of Merseyside is taking young people who are football fans (15 – 18 years olds) from our communities in the Liverpool City Region to London to take part in a football competition (African Nations Cup UK) which brings many communities from different backgrounds together. The event will take place from 26 to 27 August 2023.
They are therefore seeking support from our local authorities, organisations and communities to support them with transport, necessary resources (finance, flags, posters) of any kind, to encourage the young people and make this event the most successful.
If you would like to join them on this trip, please contact them on 0151 345 6913 or email congomerseyside@yahoo.fr.
