Германия: Президент на футболна асоциация на посещение при бежанци

The president of the German Football Association (DFB) Wolfgang Niersbach visited a refugee housing centre in the southwestern town of Egelsbach, Wednesday. Loaded with presents including football shirts and signed footballs, the DFB delegates met with a Kurdish family whose two boys are football-mad, and spent the afternoon with them. The family arrived in Germany in February of last year. The DFB president acknowledged the work the local sports club, SG Egelbach is doing for refugees, saying that it was very important to help refugees in the process of integration. With the help of youth workers, the sports club formed a refugee team under the name 'Refugees United' last year. After the visit to the refugee housing centre, the DFB delegation played football with Refugees United. More than 25 refugees are already members of the football team, training regularly and even participating in friendly matches and local tournaments. The team trainer, a local resident, said that the players are mostly from Syria, Afghanistan and Somalia.
