Let the games begin
An opening ceremony June 6 marks the beginning of the 5th CISM Women's Soccer Championship. Teams from Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, The Netherlands, The Republic of South Korea, and the United States marched in a Keesler parade to kick off the ten-day event. The ceremony also featured drill demonstrations from the 334th Training Squadron, remarks from Col. Ian Dickinson, 81st Training Wing commander, and Col. Stefan margeane, official CISM representative. Organizers say the tournament represents a chance to build bonds and friendships between the countries, and encourages the CISM's motto "Friendship through Sports."
