The event was well attended: Mayor, Deputy Mayor, councilman for Culture and Sport, Delegate of the Ministry of Education and some representatives from other associations were present and took part in the subsequent discussion. The last years work of DCCV was honored by all the participants and they gave a promise to support the project over the next years within their possibilities.
Over the next three days, there were meetings between the principals of DCCV and streetfootballworld and/or Architecture for Humanity. Subjects were the necessary agreements between Municipality and DCCV as well as DCCV and streetfootballworld, the 3-year strategic plan that DCCV has to develop in order to get the financial assistance from FIFA and of course the architecture and use of the 180 m2 building that makes part of the project.
