Opening ceremony
As the sun goes down in Prague, the first game day slowly comes to an end. The players got a taste of
the competition and they surely have to prepare themselves for tomorrow. However, there was one
task remaining. After a hearty dinner, the footballers gathered in the Top Hotel Congress Hall to
attend the opening ceremony of the ISF World Championship 2017.
Having all of the players around at the same time is a wonderful opportunity for us. We didn’t
hesitate and joined the people from all around the world to ask them three quick questions about
their first day. See for yourself what we’ve learned.
