A friendly...Iranian Solidarity Soccer Match at CMU<br /><br />A friendly coed soccer game will be played this Friday morning, September 25th at 10am at Carnegie Mellon University’s Stadium pitting a Persian team - wearing green to show their solidarity with the Iranian reform movement - against a World team made up of student and adult women and men players from all over the Pittsburgh region.<br />The Persian team includes 10 women and 5 men ages 22-27 and was organized by the Persian Panthers, a CMU Persian Student Organization and the University of Pittsburgh-Iranian Cultural Organization and is coached by Arash Farsi, a graduate student from CMU. The World team has some sorority and intramural soccer players from CMU as well as players from the Greater Pittsburgh Women’s and Coed Soccer League and was put together by Citizen Athlete Games and Organizing for America and is coached by Larry Evans.<br />This symbolic match will be played rain or shine to highlight Iran’s situation after the rigged presidential election during the ongoing G20 Conference in town.
