Video summary

The video documents the vibrant atmosphere of the World Soccer Festival, an international exhibition event held in Mila, Vermont, which celebrates diversity through youth sports. The broadcast begins with a "Parade of Nations," where teams from various countries including England, Egypt, Japan, Spain, Canada, France, Argentina, and many others line up behind their respective flags to march onto the track. This ceremonial opening is accompanied by traditional cultural sounds provided by Sambatucada, setting a festive tone for the day. The event features participants ranging from third and fourth graders to seventh and eighth graders, with specific attention given to honoring graduating eighth-grade seniors before the games commence. Following the parade, the Mayor of Mila delivers a keynote address emphasizing that the festival is about more than just soccer; it is a lesson in discipline, resilience, teamwork, and community unity regardless of where players come from or what flags they represent. The organizers provide detailed rules for the unique 3v3 format, noting that games run continuously for twenty minutes without stoppages, utilize horn signals instead of whistles, and feature specific restrictions like no keepers and indirect kicks for fouls inside the goal box. Throughout the event, attendees are encouraged to visit food trucks offering Middle Eastern cuisine from Aladdin and quesadillas from the Morrisville Soccer Club, which is raising funds for a European trip. The highlight of the broadcast is the men's exhibition match between Capital Soccer and the International Allstars, which serves as a demonstration of adult-level play for the younger participants. The game is described as a tight contest with Capital Soccer mounting a significant comeback after falling behind early in the first half. Despite Capital's efforts to equalize and their strong defensive stands, the International Allstars maintain control through effective counter-attacks down the wings and smart possession play. The match concludes with the International Allstars winning 3-2, with a decisive free kick by Dashel proving to be the turning point that secured their victory in a closely fought battle. The event concludes with a strong sense of community spirit, acknowledging the contributions of sponsors like Montpelier Alive, Market 32 Price Chopper, and the Morrisville School District. As the games wrap up, the organizers highlight an upcoming performance by the Cheetah Project, a group of traditional African drummers and dancers, promising to captivate the audience during the lunch break. The video ends with gratitude toward the players, parents, referees, and volunteers who made the festival a success, reinforcing the message that the true value lies in the shared experiences and friendships formed on the field rather than just the final scores.

They're just out more centur I already believe What's going on? Yeah. Woo! Yeah. Heat. Heat. right here. Right here, right here down there. Thank you for coming to the Newport World Festival. We're glad you're here. It's going to be a great day. Make new friends with your friends. Music for everyone else. Yes, we appreciate if you get closer to the things here. Please may get closer. Thank you. Stand back together. >> Yeah, we're going to start with a little historical background about how World Festival all came about. And then we have the honorable mayor of Milia Mark right here with a little keynote address and then the games will start. Okay. So World Soccer Festival started in 2012 in Hypat Vermont. The idea came in 2011 where I was working as a PE teacher at a high elementary school and a group of parents came up to me knowing my background as a soccer guy and knowing that I'm originally from Ghana. They came to talk to me about organizing a soccer event to celebrate soccer and diversity. So I said sure why not anything about soccer? I would say yes all the time 100%. So in 2012, the two parents Aaron with a E and then Aaron with a A um started the event in High Park and that was the best year and then since then from 2012 up to 2018 they've been joined by my mom Esenhog and Bobby um K Bobby. So they run it from 20 uh 2012 all the way to 2018. And then in 20 2023 they feel like they want somebody else to take over. And so a group of parents uh guys in Mila who love soccer, dream soccer, eat soccer, sleep soccer. Uh Jamie, Chad, myself and other parents came together and talk to mom and keep that would like to keep it alive, keep the festival alive. So for the past three years we've been having this event in Milia and looks like it's growing from strength to strength. The highest number of teams we've had in the past was 34 but this year the number rose to 51 teams. >> So without further ado, I would like the mayor of Montilia Park give a quick keynote address and then the games will flow. Thank you, Emanuel. >> Uh, on behalf of the city of Melia and Melia Alive, um, I want to just say a lot of thank yous. Thank you, first of all, for the great weather we're having. Thank you for Emanuel and all the organizers who did some kind of heroic scheduling effort that boggles the mind. Thank you for the parents. Kids, this is where you applaud for your parents. Thank you for all the parents and grownups who brought everybody out here. And most importantly, thank you for all the young players who are out here today because today really is about youth and about soccer and about the things that we learn from soccer. It teaches us things like discipline and resilience and most importantly, it teaches us teamwork. And those lessons are going to last your whole life whether you play soccer ever again or not. And on the field, it doesn't matter where you came from, what flag you got, what jersey you're wearing. You're just a kid with a mind and a body and a ball and your teammates. And that that's that's what today is. And the city of Melia is grateful for you. And we're grateful for here in the state of Vermont how we're growing. We have growing diversity and that brings new energy, new ideas, new flags, new teammates, and it makes all of us stronger as community, as neighbors, economically, you name it. Now, I would ask you how many mayors you could name and everybody would say maybe one if you know my name and that's not it. But who are the most famous people in in the world? They're all footballers and all of them started out as some kid with a foot and a ball and some teammates. So, not to not to belver any of these points. Have a great time today. Play hard. Play joyfully. Play as a team. Afterwards, drag your parents into town to eat. Go to the bookstore and the toy store and have a great time here in Montpielar. And everybody, let's have the best day ever. >> All right, so a couple of orders of business. Excuse me. I know you're all excited and you should be, but a couple of order of business. We always want to honor our graduating oldest participants who have been here for many years with us. And unfortunately, we'll be going on to high school on a bunch of boring stuff next year and can't do it. So, if I can have all of our eighth grade participants just come to the front. Um, we'll take a moment to um recognize all of you and we'll get a picture. Don't be shy. There we go. All right. all of our eighth graders. If I can get all the parents and all the kids uh just to put your hands together and uh appreciate the senior members of this beautiful festival. for your graduation. >> I will I will I was planning on doing it, but if you can do the rule, just do it at the beginning of the rule. >> So, you don't want me to do the rule? >> Oh, sure. Okay. I can do it. Let me do it. >> All right. If I can have everybody's attention, I'm just going to run through the rules of the game real quick. Most of you have participated before. They have not changed. The most important thing is that the games do not start individually. The swarm sounds and every game at every field will start simultaneously, which means you need to be at your field 5 minutes before the game and not miss the beginning. Um, beyond that, the games are 20 minutes. The again, the 20 minutes just runs. It does not stop. You substitute on the fly. As far as the rules go, no player can touch the ball inside the goal box. It's a very small goal box inside of each one. If a defender touches it, it's a penalty kick. If an attacker touches it inside the box, it's a goal kick. Um, there's no keepers, there's no slide tackling. Uh, all fouls are an indirect kick. late in fouls as judged by our uh Mular High School boys referees um result in a penalty kick. Um there's no throwins. It's all kickins out the sideline or the end line. Um corner kick, the defender needs to be 5 yards back and it's again an indirect kick so it can't go straight in the goal. Um that's pretty standard. Corner kicks, goal kicks, penalty kicks are all very standard and your referees do know the rules. So if you need any clarification, please ask them. And again, please thank our Mailor High School boys for volunteering to help referee today. And our first game, group one, round one starts at 10:50. So, be at your field at 10:45, please. And thank you everybody. Have a great day. >> Yep. And I would like to mention that our men's exhibition game will start at 10:35 uh for everybody's enjoyment. And there will be more to describe and announce that shortly. >> Yeah. also. >> And then finally, we don't start and end the game with a whistle. We start and end the game with a horn. So round one, beginning of the game for round one, you hear a horn like this. That means that's the end of the game. And then the end of the game for round one, you hear another horn. And then the same for two and three. Yeah. So each of the rounds, round one, you hear a horn to start the game. and to hang the game. >> Uh while we're here, I just wanted to take another moment to uh mention all of our wonderful sponsors or at least some of them. Uh Mont Peeler Live does a lot to put this together. Uh and a lot for the city in general. Um we have Market 32, um Price Chopper who contributed today as well. Um and I also wanted to run through some more food options. Uh I mentioned uh the Morrisville soccer club is offering quesadillas, uh snow cones, drinks, and dessert to support their European trip.

Also, this is a fiveminut warning that the group wants 1050 games. Will we get in five minutes? Make your way to your field if you haven't already. All right. So far, Captain seems to be enjoying the bulk of the possession. Jim Hessle with a nice turn down the side. Really sloppy delivery on the pass. Oh, Dro with a dangerous pull over the top.

Uh don't forget we have food offerings from the Aladdin food truck and also the Morrisville soccer club for their offering quesadillas and Aladdin has a variety of Middle Eastern flavors as well.

I'll keep him uh fashion nicely playing in the familiar left back position. Beautiful. >> All right. Well defended in the anti- capital and the whistle blows for a mile. Hey. Thank you. Uh Miguel playing safe there. The throw in. It's not long enough. Last year, this was a highscoring affair. I'm not sure if these teams were pushing off the complex. Our first attempt our first shot under a lot of pressure and capitalization. All right. Little bit of a Mario. Both teams starting to show a little more amig I expect our first needed a little more hungry subide. for both teams. He didn't handle it that well in the end. strongly manufacturing the capital with the internet on the track together. There's a lot of pressure here in the back line. Dash over a couple of hard I don't think Did I miss >> I told you it'd be three minutes uh international first strike. Uh but we'll see if that goes under capital. And we do have a couple of subs coming in. All right. Again. one and I don't think this game's going to end. show up there. They work. We have I think I'm sorry. Shiny. Shiny. basically doing whatever. real nicely. >> Good tracking defense and good stuff. That was pretty good. I have my Take your All right, we got some fresh big USA hardest working player on the field. All right. over the top. I think For those people waiting, your game Hold the Lord away. to put it across. Take somebody out on the wall so long. All right, let the game begin counterattack for capital. Starting to go right down the middle. No one was there. Looks like the uh some younger pressure definitely added a little bit of physicality whether they had and why I don't know. Ladies and gentlemen, there is an American Eagle flying over this activities right now, giving a holler and a wave. That's a big beautiful bird. credit. All right, the international pressure that wide right now Yeah, Satara celebrating the goal. Elhan, could you please report to the uh commentation booth as soon as possible? We have an important message for you. Alhan. >> All right, we'll see if uh that second goal conceded um has a change of strategy or Wake put a little life into the capital team here. They continue to move forward, create opportunities. That pass went a little big possession. Peter Kim wy veteran spoke of >> number eight showing good composure on the ball. Thank you. Pressing high that press and Another attack down keeper looking to start picking up again. Hey, 2. Hey. All Right. I just had a little juice with the microphone. Hopefully you can hear a little better. Let me know if it's too much for you. But this is a loud joyous occasion and I think we should keep it that way. Capital showing poker and a bit of people around unable to keep us international with another attack down the flank. Sloppy touch was an end to that attack. And number 10 for Capital still good working composure as he has all game direct capital attack. bouncing ball outside the area with position. Um again intelligent simple pass out of pressure do a good job and a team made the pressure. Unfortunately, the following pack goes right. Capital Soccer looking for their first goal. Unfortunately unable to make round the double team. A pretty big ask. And here we are again down the right flank. the international's attack of choice. It's another promising. So didn't have the composure to put that away but uh international are not giving up for download. Sabo and Takata doing a good job of rounding out my voice with sounding much prettier. Heat. Heat. Peter Kim showing uh good skill and wisdom to evade that low midfield trap and capital on the go again. Looks like they took out the collection for the red row. Another reminder, we have food on range from the Latin Taste of the Middle East and here closer to the view uh quesadillas. Oo, that's a circle. Uh but the Morrisville uh soccer club is offering tadas and baked goods and snow cone at a tent closer to the uh main field.

Peter Kim with an opportunity to put the capital on the feet on the scoreboard. Uh just went a little wide. Heat. Heat. Heat.

Peter Cam still showing the uh effort after years and years in his career. Capital looking to ship into this two lead halftime. Yeah, for those of you uh enjoying watching your um games, your actual 3v3 games at the halftime uh and the start of the second half without team football uh with that your game play right away in the second round. That gives you an opportunity to grab something to eat, grab a spot on, get a Gatorade, and catch them in the second half. Heat. Heat. Uh, also I believe Satana is going to be moving towards the front wheels after halftime. the catch up here after the men's exhibition game. So the last 10 or so minutes to cut this half moving forward with purpose. Oh, unable to keep it. They land right back. Several subs coming in now. Three, three, four. Enter the game starting to get a little sluggish. The sun's beating down. Hero is also checking in. Shanny nearly hurt. Manuel is customary unit on the wall and looking like they're trying to get that is still on just Fire. Hey. Hey. It just falls forward. Didn't come off. But that's the the kind of imaginative progressive passing that game. Oh my god. Interesting opportunity here. Smart defensive play. All right, that marks the end of our first round of games.

So please um those get some refreshment, take a moment and for those of you uh about to start, you have now 4 minutes more or less that you can get to your new field before it begins.

Um >> we have Mont live, we have the Mont Rocker School District and um market 32 Price Chopper who all contributed greatly. Sama Takata as well tradition of bringing us the the feisty spicy sounds that have been um soundtracks of this festival for many years. >> Here's an opportunity. No. What a touch. Oh, a little bit wide, but that was almost a thing of beauty. Don't hurt yourself, Carlos. >> All right, that marks halftime for our exhibition game. And just a few moments to the start of our second round of games for the kids. So, those of you who have a moment, come down and grab some food, cool off, um, and we'll keep things rolling.

If they act like Oh my god, guys. How are the stairs? All right, we have the kickoff of the second half of the Mets exhibition game happening at International are right off the on the attack. Keeper had to come out and make a smart play. All right, folks. Capital coming right down the other end and put pressure on as well. They look like they want to turn this back into a game. >> See if we can get a good delivery on this corner. >> Good looking ball to the far post. Didn't quite connect. >> Recycle it around. See if we can get another cross in here. >> That's a almost pretty good from here. >> Just a little wide. International all stars >> taking their time. >> Nice attempt to flick there. Not quite. >> Good hold up play. >> International looks content to take it slow with their two nothing lead. doesn't really do slow. >> End up just recycling it, keeping the ball. Unable to find their way through. >> Need to go back to their first half approach of attacking down the wings. That was bringing them a lot of joy. ball seems to be bouncing a lot on the uh dry hard service. I don't think many people have played on it this summer, but it probably hasn't been watered up either. >> That's us. >> A little bit of controversy about that call, but we're ending up with a red throw. Quick little play >> into Carlos. Just trying to catch him by surprise. >> And here's the international squad looking to break out a counter. It's a tactical foul. Smart professional foul to keep the uh counter from developing. Come on down to the grand stand. We got puppies. We got rainbows. >> I do see some tired looking kids running around or walking around. Just a reminder, there's cold Gatorade and other um drinks offers from the Morrisville Soccer Club. >> Snow cones as well. I like the blue one. How do we drop it down? Got it. know. Uh just another reminder uh or an announcement rather. I don't think I've said this yet, but uh our lunch break, which is after the next round of games, uh will feature a performance by the Shida Project, which is an incredible uh group of traditional African dancers. Um I've seen it before. It's absolutely fantastic. So, if you're planning on leaving um during lunch break, I highly recommend you at least stick around and you will be captivated. Okay, here >> I should amend that statement. The cheetah project is they're African drummers as much as they are dancers. But incredible performance nonetheless. Good stick by Miguel on the >> found an outlet as well. This is a dangerous attack down the left. >> It's a good idea. Not quite the execution. International always look dangerous and they definitely look dangerous on the left uh with Dash. >> Nice physical battle in the corner there which I think is going to end in a red throw for Capital. Ryan. Try one. 1 2 Just kind of looking at the pattern of the game here. It's a little more extended possession for Capital without an end product and the international team uh has been effective countering down the wings. That's a good cross but a good defensive clearance. To be honest, they're doing a lot. Oh, couple players getting a talking too here. >> Come on, man. >> And it looks like Matt is leaving the field in frustration. >> Either way, we got a fresh set of legs and the ref's got things to think about. Natural to get a little frustrated at this point of the day. Game down two nothing. Struggling to find solutions. That's good hold up leg after a strong defensive job. Can't afford to give it up in the back like that. And he did well to get out. >> Definitely seems to be getting a little chippier here. And Capital with another dangerous sap opportunity. All right, that is the end of our second round of games. We are entering a lunch break, so there is not a 5minute warrant for the next set of games. The next set of games begin at 12:15, which is round two for group one. Uh we have plenty of food options down here if you want to use your lunch break to visit the uh Aladdin food truck with taste in the Middle East or the uh Morrisville soccer club um selling quesadillas and desserts and cold drinks. Um we also still have about half an hour of the men's exhibition game. So there's plenty of seating here. Get yourself something to eat and uh come check it out. Uh, Capitals right now pushing hard to get back into this game with the International Stars leading. There it is. Two to one. We're back at two to one with a beautiful cross and a header. So, we got a game, ladies and gentlemen. Two to one. Got a half an hour left to go. Um, enjoy your lunch break. So, we hope to see you down here. I didn't see that put that in, but it was a nice towering header with the cross delivered to the back post. Um, and uh, thing of beauty really. Oh, another hard foul. And >> uh those seem to be coming a little bit more frequently. >> Looks like he was able to walk that off. Tricky bounce there on a hard surface. >> International squad just playing it smart, keeping possession. A little bit of a hospital ball, but we were able to scramble out of it. and >> won themselves a corner. It's >> good looking balls over everyone's heads though And now Capital trying to escape out the back. Cable for possession again. Come on. Hey, you got it. Upstate. Well, this international team has definitely seem to respond to seem to go back >> allowing capital and have a sniff at it this game. >> They're tracking down the wings again. leg up. >> Yeah. Hey, let's see. So, in a few moments we will have the performance by the Sheeta Project uh which is just an incredible African drum dancing um not to miss. That'll be set up right here um towards the main field uh kind of amongst the tents. International squad sitting on standing on the ball for a moment >> looking for some movement. Eric Bagley moving ball forward. >> Capital has done a good job of keeping possession and patiently um progressing up the field. Well played in the corner.
