Tournament: George Papamikidis

Moroccan National Team Dept: The organizers of the Beach Soccer Montreal tournament say Ottawa fears some of the Moroccan national team's players might defect, according to CBC. "This is soccer. Soccer is for the love of the game. People will play for nothing, you can't stop because of financial reasons," he said and organizers of an international beach soccer tournament this weekend in Montreal are furious with the federal government for refusing to grant visas to the team from Morocco. The government made its decision based on the fact that some of the players have low incomes, said George Papamikidis, CEO of tournament presenter Cadima Sports Group. He said that's unacceptable.
