Forum Wins Season Opener of Geneva Corporate Football League

The World Economic Forum's "All Blues" football team won its opening game 1:0 in the Geneva Corporate Football League - and its first competitive match in recent history - against a selection of Polo Ralph Lauren. The team around captain Yann Zopf was able to grind out a result, withstanding a strong spell of pressure by the visiting side, especially in the second half.

The "All Blues" took the lead after Jan Klawitter finished off a flowing counter-attack and punished some sloppy defending just before the half-time whistle. "I am proud that the lads showed strong team-spirit and a winning mentality for this historic victory," said Kamal Kimaoui, Trainer of the All Blues".

The next game will be on Monday, 6 April 2009 at 20:00 at Varembé against the team Louis Dreyfus.
