Gong marks Zomercompetitie 2016

The Zomercompetitie (Summer Competition) is a football and hockey tournament for companies in the Amsterdam area. The competition is being held for the 10th time this summer. For the first time the Summer Competition will also be held in Utrecht and Rotterdam. Samuel Tagwireyi, coach at the Kadish Foundation, flew over from Zambia to open trading at the Amsterdam exchange by sounding the gong.

Between 31 May and 5 August 25 over 80 companies participated in the tournament. Teams compete during the course of 20 playing days, in the hopes of achieving the 2014 football and hockey title. The league has a unique character; both football and hockey takes place at one location, and is played in a format of six against six. In addition to the sport aspect, the Summer Competition provides a networking platform where both participating companies and sponsors can meet young professionals. Ten percent of the profit will go to charity, the Kadish Foundation.
