Monday
evening
We believe
it is important to make a lifelong memory. A moment for everyone
of harmony and kinship. We want to create this moment with the
Gothia Opening Ceremony.
Atmosphere surrounding opening of Gothia Cup is electric, enough
to make you shiver with excitement.
It's a memory to remember and smile at for the rest of your life.
Everybody
is there in Ullevi Stadium. More than 50,000 players, coaches,
supporters and locals create a magical atmosphere with an audience
singing and dancing.
The fact that the audience takes part makes an experience of joy
and togetherness.
When we see that young people from all over the world can have
fun and cooperate together, we can feel proud.
