Over-30 Expats in League of Their Own.
(From The Moscow Times)
Athletes may hit their physical peak in their late 20s, but a group of over-30 expats aren't letting that stop them from taking their skills to the soccer pitch.
The action in Moscow's new expat soccer league wouldn't be confused with a Champions League final. But the league does provide expatriates who are over 30 with weekend exercise and a chance to satisfy their soccer addiction.
Two expat businessmen, Nick Rees and Darren Keane, put together the league three weeks ago with a round-robin tournament on the pitch of the Anglo-American School in northwest Moscow.
Play has continued each weekend since on the Astroturf pitch at the Young Pioneers Stadium on Leningradsky Prospekt.
Rees said the games thus far have been only knockabouts in advance of official league play, which will begin this weekend.
There are currently six teams signed up for the league: the Intermark Moscow Flagons, a play on the name of the local expat rugby team, the Moscow Dragons; the British Embassy; the Dutch Team; Proctor and Gamble; the Anglo/American School Staff team; and The Casino Group.
