2 Ghanaians Play For Togo In Lowell's 'World Cup'
ResumeSoccer fans, don't toss your vuvuzelas just yet. There's plenty more World Cup action happening in Lowell right now.
Twenty amateur teams representing 20 nationalities faced each other in the first leg of the ONE Lowell World Cup last weekend, and by the end of this weekend, we'll have a new champion.
The event, now in its fourth year, is a fundraiser for ONE Lowell, a non-profit that works primarily with recent immigrants. The tournament is supposed to promote integration in a region with countless and ever-expanding immigrant communities. As Radio Boston's Adam Ragusea found out last weekend, it's succeeding — to some degree.
