English Students Compete in International Soccer Tournament

kaplancupStudents at Kaplan International English in the U.K. and Ireland will have the opportunity to represent their countries in the first ever Kaplan Cup, a soccer tournament organized in conjunction with Kick It Out, a campaign for equality and inclusion in the sport.

Hundreds of English students from more than 20 countries will play in the Kaplan Cup, and there will be both a men’s and a women’s tournament. The games will be played in Upton Park, inside a 35,000-seat stadium, and hundreds of spectators are expected to attend.

According to Martin Hofschroer, Kaplan’s content strategist, said: “We can’t wait to provide a really special evening for our students. Learning with Kaplan isn’t just about lessons in a classroom, it’s a life experience.”

The Kaplan Cup will be a wonderful opportunity to combine sports, education, and teamwork into a fun international competition. As Dean Watson, Grassroots Development Officer at Kick It Out, said, “This is a positive event that helps to show that football truly is for everyone.”
