Syrian kids compete in Zaatari refugee camp tournament
Once every four years, the World Cup captures the undivided attention of hundreds of millions across the globe. It unites people in their love of the beautiful game and stirs national pride in fans and non-fans alike.
I am a fan, so much so that today, I rose before 7am in order to watch the first match of the day. But I was not up so early to cheer on Team USA or any other nation’s team. No, I was up at first light to cheer on the International Rescue Committee’s squad of under-15 boys in the Zaatari camp World Cup tournament.
