The main goal of the event was to strengthen football\u2019s role in achieving gender equality and supporting disadvantaged youth. Alongside the tournament, numerous exciting side programs were organized: each nationality presented its own culture, participants attended workshops and lectures on various topics, and they also had the chance to watch one of the Women\u2019s World Cup semifinals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Poldi\u2019s Eleven<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The Lukas Podolski Foundation and RheinFlanke organized the Poldi\u2019s Eleven tournament for the second time in 2019, where we were represented by six players and one young leader. During the three\u2011day championship, our young athletes played in mixed teams under the football3 system, showcasing who was the fairest player, while the young leaders jointly established the optional rules. We were especially proud that two Hungarian players were part of the most sportsmanlike mixed\u2011nationality team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Wroclaw Cup<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In 2019, the Wroclaw Cup was held for the eleventh time in Solny Square, where we have been regular guests thanks to our Polish friends.
