Unfortunately some repairs were being done at Schiller Park, so this year’s local World Cup soccer tournament was moved to Henninger High School. Here is a photo of a penalty shot to break a tie between Team Burundi and Team Somalia in the first round of the playoffs.

An exciting pre-quarter finals game between Bosnia and Somalia
Bravo to the organizers of World Refugee Day here in Syracuse. This year organizers moved the event to Schiller Park and added a dimension of excitement with a soccer tournament featuring teams from countries represented in the city.
