The ‘Refugee Cup’ has kicked off in Berlin, as Humboldt university hosted a match between refugees and a local African community football club.

Football is the latest project this, the second largest university in Berlin, has undertaken to help refugees, already offering classes to asylum seekers free of charge.

Osama Rachid, from Mosul, who took part said: “It’s extraordinary. We don’t get those events every day, also in my country.”
