The 2006 JCI-Soccer World Cup takes place at Offenbach, Germany from June 8-13. The tournament will be punctuated with attractive visiting programmes.The JCI Soccer-World Cup is played not with National JCI teams, but with teams built up with Jaycees from one or more chapters.
These chapter teams shall be built up with five Jaycees minimum and a team will be completed with other JCs. Goetz Vogelmann, JCI Offenbach President, wrote in a letter to JCI members that the tournament of JCI local chapter teams has become a traditional event.
But it is only a rumour that we want to widen this cup for international guests because we are bored winning it every year.Peter Suelzen, JCI Offenbach Secretary General, in one of his correspondences to Tedd Eyong, former Cameroon JCI President, proposed that Cameroon should host the next JCI World Cup because of the country's soccer fame.
JCI Cup winner of last year and the organising chapter for 2006 has invited other JCs from all over the world to take part in this year's jamboree.The competition, according to JCI Offenbach, will be for other JCs to visit a cosmopolitan and tolerant country, watch the FIFA World Cup, and feel the German atmosphere.
JCs will also witness a colourful and variety of historical, cultural and entertaining moments and make new friends.Offenbach is a city next to Frankfurt and part of the Rhine-main-Metropolitan Area.
