Nearly 1000 spectators came to the official Soccer Festival "Football-Celebration a la Playa".
At the Playa in Cologne at the Stadium they were spoiled with a one of a kind show program, organized also by the present soccer teams from all over the world.
The start of the stage program was provided by the lesbian-gay fan club of the 1. FC Cologne “Andersrum rut-wiess” who numerous, fervently and with a lot of enthusiasm sang the official FC hymn. Without exception, the international show acts like the one of Ollie Golding (player of the London Falcons) with his wonderful voice, the rousing rodeo dance “Riding Solo” of the soccer girls of the Seattle Surge or the performance of the Flying Bats from Sydney rocked the Playa. A spontaneous performance of a kicker from Alabama, who sang two Cover songs of Madonna live, led to a real storm of enthusiasm.
Another highlight was provided by the referees, singing songs of ABBA. The sparkling musical finish of the evening was set by the boys of the Special Guest Band who instead of playing only the scheduled 45 min for twice the time due to the many encores demanded by the crowd.
The program was presented by Sacha Korf, who astonished the guests with his knowledge of five foreign languages and filled them with enthusiasm.
The pleasant result of this benefit performance will be handed over to the organizers of the Gay Games.
