Syria has for more than five\u00a0years been a nation ravaged by war. With it, millions of people have had to abandon their homes in order to escape the terror in search of a better future. That has brought a refugee crisis across Europe, a situation that has been on the increase over time and one which has kept politicians and citizens on the alert all over the continent.<\/p>\n

The drama has placed under the spotlight the unfair treatment received by refugees in the media<\/a> and, with football as an excuse, the Libert\u00e9 Cup<\/a> is looking to change that perception and the image that is reflected in the press across the globe.<\/p>\n

“This is not a political campaign, it\u2019s not a charity and we’re not asking to open borders. The aim is simple. To change the way refugees are viewed in the media.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Joe and\u00a0Ary are two English creators who got together over a year ago with one\u00a0idea in mind: a football tournament to spread the\u00a0message of solidarity.<\/p>\n

“The Libert\u00e9 Cup is a football tournament, a signal of solidarity for refugees in Grande-Synthe, France. This is not a political campaign, it\u2019s not a charity and we’re not asking to open borders. The aim is simple. To change the way refugees are viewed in the media.\u00a0They don\u2019t need your pity, they want your support so forget the politics and let’s play.”
\nGrande-Synthe is a suburb of Dunkerque and the tournament (a mixed 7-a side competition) takes place this Saturday, September 10.<\/p>\n

\"CUP1\"“Football supporters from all over the Europe will come together in message of solidarity, and try altering the way refugees are perceived by the media. In order to express this message more effectively, the refugees will be split up amongst all of the different teams coming to the tournament to show that on the pitch, we are all equal!”<\/p>\n

As well as supporting this initiative,\u00a0ITV HUB<\/em>\u00a0will film\u00a0a documentary for\u00a0‘Bigballs Media football’ on the refugee crisis which will be aired later this year.<\/p>\n
