The biggest day of B.C. Chinese Soccer Federation. We represent Vancouver Chinese to join the New York Chinese World Soccer Tournament in 2005. We thank you Mr. David Ho and Mr. Tony Lau who sponsored the event in that year. This picture was all the players of Team Open, Team Over 35, team Over 45 and the committee were gathered in Vancouver Airport and prepared to go to New York to join the competition.
Mr. David Ho (middle left in front row) and Mr. Tony Lau (middle right in front row) is the sponsor of this event.
After
extensive and careful consideration and consultation, it is with deep regret
that The Nations Cup
Tournament Committee has made the difficult decision to officially CANCEL the
2020 Nations Cup Soccer Tournament.
As
everyone is aware, the global health crisis created by covid-19 has brought
about unprecedented circumstances forcing unexpected challenges and changes.
Unfortunately, given the information available to us at this time, along with
Provincial and Federal medical guidance, we have determined it is in the best
interest of players, spectators, volunteers, vendors, and suppliers alike that
we cancel the 2020 Tournament.
We
are hopeful that we will be able resume this important local community event
next year and thank you all for your patience and understanding as we worked
toward making this difficult decision. We look forward to making arrangement
for the 2021 Tournament as circumstances allow.
In
the meantime, our hearts go out to all those who are directly and indirectly
affected by this pandemic and although the Tournament will not take place this
year, the Nations Cup
Committee is pledging to donate funds to the Richmond
Food Bank during this critical time of need, as well as continuing our
usual annual donation to Richmond
KidSport.
We
encourage our Nations Cup community members to also find ways to give back to
those in need during these challenging times.
On
behalf of the Nations Cup Soccer Tournament Committee, be safe and be strong.
The turf of Richmond is fixing now. Hoping that the game of Summer Old-timer League could be started very soon. Thank you for the photo that Thomas Sin provided.
Because of the Covid 19 virus that is spreading, we will suspend handshakes, fist bumps and High five before and after the game between teams and referees. Stay safe and be careful everyone!
