As the end-of-the-year holidays are passing by, CHOCO has decided to carry out a six-a-side soccer tournament among the under-16 youths from all over Thinadhoo. CHOCO believes that a tournament like this would give the young players a chance to show their skills and improve them, so that they could shine brighter as star-players of tomorrow. Also it would freshen up their minds and give them a great opportunity to develop a strong teamwork culture among the youth living in different areas of the island. This is a free-to-participate tournament, with the general soccer rules of FIFA. 

All the kids in town, please come forward and show your skills and teamwork. You never know how far you could reach with a simple first step.
