The Greater Pollok Integration Network has and is still supporting a lot of local projects to facilitate and encourage integration among refugees/asylum seekers and host population within the Greater Pollok Area.
In July 29th and 30th last year, we in partnership with Afro Scots united and Glasgow Ansar did organise and support the all nations tournament that took place at King George the V park involving 8 teams from different parts of the world.
For example Afro-Scot, Zimbabwe, Cameroon, Congo ,Red Road United, Universal, Zambia, Ansar. The event was opened by the Superintendent Williams Newland from the Pollok Police Office on Saturday the 29th of July. There was also face painting for the children and health check for men.
The final was played on Sunday the 30th of July between Cameroon and Ansar. It was won by Ansar However this 2007, we are in the planning process of another All Nations Tournament.
It will take place at King George V Park this July 2007. This year we are anticipating more teams than last year. There will also be African drumming, face painting for the children, health check, and prizes to be won.
