I so much love this phrase, "Dont ask what steemit can do for you, but what you can do for steemit"
A popular saying that I have read at multiple occasions on this website we all love and share. I have seen all kind of ways people have used their talents or passions for giving steemit that extra small push that might seem little on its own but in numbers are helping steemit one way or another. Making a connection to the real worlD, all for the greater good of improving and expanding Steemit and steem across the internet. The ways people have found to use their talent are endless. We witness a community that wants to see steemit surpass and its beautiful. That is why we are bringing in this initiative to help give steem that push to people who are not yet aware.
Let's get to business
What is "Steemit 5 aside Football tournament" (SFAFT)
This is a great project initiated by @d-lights, with a team of steemians working together to make this wonderful project a success. This is going to be a football tournament. But not just like the normal football team that has eleven players on the pitch, but a team with just 5 players playing in a smaller pitch with a smaller goal post. There will be 8 teams in this championship, kicking their way up to the finals. This project is schedule to kick off on the 15 of feb 2018...It's going to be an event hosted once in a year, and in different states in Nigeria. The first Season will be in Uyo, Akwa-Ibom State.
Mission:
Football has been known as a tool, used in bringing peace, love and unity within humans. Football brings people together, it's gives people the opportunity to interact with each other and also debate on several issues. We want to use this tournament in creating awareness, telling people about Steemit blockchain.
Football is known to have the highest supporters in the world when it comes to sports. And in my state, it's always a huge turn out whenever a competition like this is being hosted. We expect nothing less than 300 people at the venue everyday till the end of the tournament. The tournament is to last for 14 days after Kick-off, so we can imagine the awareness this will create and the number of people that will know about the platform or join before the end of the tournament.
This project will bring a huge publicity to the community, and will also affect lot of lives.
