Charity football for humanity: Gadebusch shows heart in indoor football!

On January 12, 2025, the first benefit football tournament of the Gadebuscher Association for Culture and Tolerance (Kut) took place. The tournament had the goal of supporting the Sea Punks initiative, which is devoted to civilian sea rescue in the Mediterranean. Teams from Rostock, Lübeck and Gadebusch took part in this event, and prices such as shirts and music CDs were awarded, but no trophies.

The International FC Rostock made two teams to support the engagement. The Kut association has over 600 members and offers five soccer teams, including two men, two women and one Ü35 team. The main goal of the association is peaceful coexistence and the promotion of acceptance among its members. The other participating teams included the Red Stern Lübeck, a team from Rosenow, "The Last", PSV Gadebusch and Kut Gadebusch.

results and plans for the future

Organizer Andy Steinberg was pleased to comment on the successful premiere of the tournament and already announced a major tournament in summer. This is to take place in the Gadebuscher Jahn sports park with 28 teams. The passionate sports club Gadebusch emerged as the winner of the tournament by winning the red star Lübeck I in the final. PSV Gadebusch had previously organized a collection of money for the support association of the Schwerin children's cancer clinic.

The Sea Punks initiative for which the tournament took place is a non -profit organization that wants to help refugees in the Mediterranean. Daily, refugees from the Middle East, Subsahara Africa and North Africa expose themselves to dangerous conditions in the Mediterranean, where the Mediterranean route is considered one of the most dangerous escape routes worldwide. War states, poor living conditions and climate -related famines are common reasons for escape.

Sea Punks plans to buy your own rescue ship to actively save human life. Civil organizations are increasingly taking responsibility for the rescue of people in distress, while the EU is often referred to as the "fortress of Europe" because it does not use its own rescue ships at the external borders. Coastal states are obliged to set up a search and emergency services and cooperate with other countries. In addition, all ships have to help if they experience from a lakes.

The organization is mainly financed by donations and membership fees and has already bought a ship, the "Rise Above", to save human life. In addition, a sanitary container for refugees in Greece was provided. Sea Punks continues to look for support and consists of volunteers with different professional backgrounds.
