Day 2 of the Tournament

On New Years Day we continued the tournament. Saying it was a success would be a great understatement.

Off to Markala

In Markala i met a few more Malians and was bestowed with my Malian name - Seydou

Stade

Several of us, including Yacouba's sons, and some players from the winning teams from the New Years Tournament attended a professional football match. For many of them, it was the first match that they had been to.

The Crew

The is the Little Eagles winter 2011 group in order: African Sky Founder Scott Lacy, Myself, and Project Director Sekou Kante

Holy S%**, I'm in Africa!

The title says it all


The matchups are set! The Little Eagles will kick off its 2013 Bamako program with the Spring tournament.

The first match will kick off today between 2012 Summer League and New Years tournament champions Pagou Foot facing Centre Ibrim Diallo. This will be a fascinating match and a repeat of the 2012 Summer League finals, where Pagou Foot edged out CID by a scoreline of 2-0.

Tomorrow, newcomers FC Gaoussou take on well established Inter Milan, who will be looking to overcome their lackluster Summer League performance last year.

On Wednesday, FC Papou, another new team, will look to start their Little Eagles debut on the right foot against Centre Gata. Centre Gata put up a strong performance during the 2012 Summer League, finishing second in their group and losing to CID by only 1 goal in the semi finals.

We're excited to kick of the year in Bamako! Stay tuned for updates, scores, and media!
