Dear All, On 10th July 2010 I will attend my last AMAC Football Training. As a founding member I had the honour to create this team in October 2006 together with Mauro Pompei and Petar Nikolowski. Since then it was an outstanding experience to be the Captain of so many players who came, joined in and left again. We recruit from Ambassadors, Attachés and other diplomatic ranks and also integrate lots of our Turkish friends. With great respect, lots of emotions and patience we went so many Saturdays to the field and played under sun, rain and sometimes also in snow... We joined Ankara International League (AIL) and reached so far in two championships a 2nd and a 5th place. We present and represent the idea of an international team, as our name AMAC says. And we made AMAC Community alive in many side effects. We grew up from mouth propaganda to a website on internet (www.amacfootball.com) and we organize and perform football on all levels.... this is unique and can not be found so often. From low standard to almost professional training facility and joint after-training sessions, we celebrate our comradeship with respect, spirit, jokes and Slivovica from all corners of this world. By the end of my tour I would like to wish all of you: former, active or future AMAC football players, the spirit to keep this team together for a long, long time..... To my successor as Captain I would like to say: "Don't worry whatever critics you may get for your work and job; just remind them that without discipline a team reaches nothing...!" Good Luck Chuck! Good Luck AMAC Soccer Team! Keep on going! Thank you all for allowing me to be your Captain, Hans CommentsLeave a Reply |
