Football and fashion collide at student tournament

Ten teams of enthusiastic footballers competed for glory and great prizes this weekend at the MU Friendly Football Tournament. Held each semester, the tourney is a chance for students to be active, have fun, play the beautiful game, and show off their creativity in the “best-dressed team” competition.

Teams consisted of MU students and staff, plus guest teams from Webster University and tournament sponsors Feelslikehome.at. The festivities got off to a rousing start with the dramatic entry to the exchange students’ team dressed in Santa Claus garb, followed by Harry Potter and Camouflage teams (complete with face paint).

On the pitch, the guest teams ended up meeting in the final, which ended in Feelslikehome.at’s favour. Third place went down to the wire and was decided in favour of Studentenfutter via penalty kicks.

Team Exchange won a close vote against Magical Unit for best-dressed – they certainly earned it for playing in their Santa suits! The winners got to take home great prizes from the MU Wine Society and main sponsor Feelslikehome.at, who secured the support of TheBOX 2.0, T-Mobile and Starbucks.

Many thanks to all players, sponsors, volunteer referees and especially the student volunteers who helped make the day a big success.
