January 2010:


Once again the Canadian Afghan Sports Association (CASA) organized one of the most competitive Afghan Soccer Tournament in Toronto, Canada. It was the 3rd Annual Afghan Indoor Soccer tournament (Canadian Afghan Cup 2010 – Indoor, January 1st & 2nd), which attracted 12 Afghan soccer teams from Greater Toronto & Area, Guelph, Kitchener & Montreal. CASA is very pleased and proud with the professionalism of all 12 teams- their players, managers, & coaching staff. The teams showed great respect to the organizers, to their opponent teams, and to the Afghan crowed (800 – 1000 Afghans). The crowd was very supportive and proud to see their fellow Afghans participate in a well organized competitive soccer tournament. “This is what the world needs to see” said one of the Afghan supporters (35 years old). “We have great talents among Afghans in Canada. I want to see my kids playing in these tournaments in the future”.

CASA has been organizing sports (soccer, volleyball, basketball, etc) tournaments for the past 3 years. Every year, the tournament is getting bigger, better, & more professional/competitive. CASA is very thankful to all the managers and coaches who spend their time to train and discipline their teams. CASA is also very proud to announce that to date there are about 10 Afghan soccer teams just in Toronto itself. This shows how much Afghans are passionate and have love for sports. Apart from other events, sport is one of the major ways of uniting Afghans.
