Ten teams faced each other and according to youth leader Shemsi Brahimi, the tournament is aimed at young people living nearby.
"We work hard to create a safe environment for children and young people in Norrliden and football gives them a sense of belonging. It teaches young people about important values around teamwork and respect, he says to SVT Småland.
The Easter Cup is organized by municipal recreation centers in the area. Other parts of the year football evenings are also held, but now during the Easter holidays it was time for a larger cup, with several participants.
Football a piece of the puzzle for security and community
Recreation leader Karin Storm also emphasizes the importance of making young people feel safe. Here, cooperation with the police and social services is a way to avoid young people getting "lost", but football also contributes.
"Football is a fantastic tool for collaborating and having fun together and it is important that we can offer meaningful leisure activities for young people," says Karin Storm.
