6月11号世界杯就要开幕，亚城的团体也将组织一个为期一个月的足球节日，目的在于筹集一些资金用于孩子慈善。

这个节日包括一天的比赛，然后接下来一个月就是在本地的餐馆中观看世界杯比赛。菜单中的部分菜式中抽取一部分作为捐款。捐给SOS Children's Villages--这是收留全世界孤儿弃儿的一个机构。

Irene Bailey是本地SOS志愿者委员会的头，她说对于大家的支持程度非常吃惊和高兴。

周六会举行“迷你世界杯”，组成代表18个国家的20支队伍。大部分来自领事馆和各国商会。而在比赛的间隙间，会播放世界杯的实况转播。

比赛在Atlanta Silverbacks Park，3200 Northcrest Rd举行，门票是5美元。

Ms. Bailey希望活动能成功举办，这样明年就可以继续。她说，如果办的成功的话，就可以成为一个每年定期举行的活动，还可以为亚特兰大争办2018年或者2022年的世界杯做出一些贡献。
