Czech Republic - Mongaguá Ostrava
The Mongaguá teams have already been guests in Leipzig in recent years and are happy to come back. The teams are created in so-called problem areas throughout the Czech Republic. Football (and futsal) is used for motivation, prevention and as a health-promoting activity. The main goal of Mongaguá is to build places in the heart of, or at least close to, settlements in order to divert as many children as possible from the dangers that are widespread in these areas (drugs, gambling, racism, lethargy, etc.). The name Mongaguá came about when the teams had no equipment at the very beginning and then the project supporter and futsal kicker Rodrigo Taverna brought jerseys from his Brazilian hometown of Mongaguá. Welcome, Mongaguá Ostrava!
