Seattle Welcomed a Soccer Tournament- oleh Salamah Kieu

Seattle, WA- On Saturday the 24th and Sunday the 25th of June, Seattle Cham community welcomed four teams from Olympia and California. Five teams took to the field but only one team truely controlled it; it was team Olympia. To be exact, it was the younger generation of the Olympia team. Team Santa Ana came second and team older generation of Olympia took third place. It is not quite sure what the reward was for winning, but the event was a great reward for the Cham community. People came from the around the area and filled the parking lot.

There were a few mishaps that took place among the players. One player was assisted off the field due to an injurity to his leg while another one crawled out on his own as others ignored his injury.

I gotta say, team Santa Ana was quite furious and came as close as punching another player on the opponent team. Overall, the tournament was great to watch, especially on a rare sunny day in Seattle, WA.

Ranking: (1st) Olympia Youth; (2nd) Santa Ana Youth; (3rd) Olympia older generation; (4th) Seattle Youth; and (5 and last place) Seattle older generation
