Dogos win
gay soccer title
 Dogos
of Buenos Aires defeated the defending champions London
Stonewall, 1-0, to take the Division 1 title at the
IGLFA 2007 World
Championship in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The team from Argentina
proved to be too skilled and too quick for the London side
and earned the win at Estádio do Defensores de Belgrano. San
Francisco Spikes overcame the Florida Storm to take third
place. In Division 2, West Hollywood outlasted the London
Titans in a penalty shootout to win their division while the
Philadelphia Falcons won against the Chilean team to take
3rd place.
Group winners in the
preliminary rounds that featured 28 teams were Boston (USA),
Amerika (ARG), Dogos SN (ARG), Florida Storm (USA), San
Francisco Spikes (USA) and Dogos RN (ARG).
Attention now turns to London and the Leftfooters Football
Club, who will be hosting next year’s IGLFA Championship in
London from 24-30 August 2008. IGLFA is still accepting bids
from cities for the IGLFA 2009 Championship. The Gay Games
in Cologne, Germany will serve as the Championship in 2010.
The IGLFA Board made two
changes to the organization this year. Ray Nasser is now the
IGLFA Treasurer and Norberto Selasco is handling corporate
sponsorships.
The IGLFA Board members are:
Tomás Gómez – President
Klaus Heusslein – Vice President
Ray Nasser – Treasurer
