BELhospice organised a huma- nitarian
tournament of 5-a-side foo- tball
matches to raise funds for the
palliative care of cancer patients in
Belgrade. The tournament was held in the
Sport Centre Kovilovo on 13th June 2009
and supported by the Serbian Ministry of
Health.
16 domestic and foreign companies took
part in the tournament and among them
were those who have
 recognised
the huge need for palliative care in
Serbia and want to continue supporting
BELhospice.
The teams were divided into four groups
and matches were played between the
teams within each group. The best two
teams from each group qualified to go
into the quarterfinals. There were a
total of 32 matches played during the
tournament.
The winner of the BELhospice 2009
Tournament was Jugohemija United. They
played great qualifying mat- ches and
after a big semifinal clash with the
team from the Serbian Medical Chamber,
Jugohemija United got through to the
final.
The final match was between Jugohemija
United and Pharma- Swiss, who had
previously knocked out the BELhospice
team in the semifinals! Both teams
played a beautiful game of football, but
at the final whistle,
 Jugohemija
proved the better side and won 2-0 with
PharmaSwiss taking second place and
Serbian Medical Chamber in third.
BELhospice raised 7.000 Euros from the
fundraising event which will be used for
the palliative care of terminally ill
patients.
The BELhospice team want to thank all
the football teams who
took part in this tournament as well as
to all supporters and companies that
made this event possible.
Special acknowledgment is owed to the
Serbian Ministry of Health, to our
sponsor companies: Jugohe- mija, Coca
Cola HBC and Sport
Ce- ntre Kovilovo as well as to the Rotary
movement in Serbia, espe- cially the
Rotary Clubs Metropolitan and
Singidunum.
We hope to see you all next year at
second humanitarian 5-a-side football
tournament "BELhospice 2010".
