Quote:

“This past weekend, in the best traditions of sports diplomacy, Chinese and exiled Tibetan players came together at a women’s seven-aside soccer tournament in Germany.

“Players from Shanghai Sports University 上海体育学院 and the Tibet Women’s Soccer program, based in Dehradun, India, met and embraced last Sunday near the site of the former Berlin Wall.

“The conference included a meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel.

“The record books will show that, Sunday night, a team comprising three Tibetans and four Chinese won 3-1 in the final, historic match of a tournament held in a city whose name is a byword for reconciliation.
