| The Estonian Football Association (EJL) are promoting tolerance in the Baltic Republic with a second edition of a competition for minorities, the Estonian Nations Cup.Multi-ethnic contestIn collaboration with the Estonian Union of National Minorities (ERÜ), the EJL are once more helping to promote tolerance with 17 teams representing different minority groups within the former Soviet Republic coming together to compete. Dagestani side FC Anzhi won in 2007 with 30 points, finishing two ahead of Ukraine's FC Dnipro and four clear of Georgia's Mamuli. Preventative aim"In 2006 we had the idea of organising a tournament for different national minorities and we soon realised that this is the best way to join the anti-racism campaign – prevention is always better than cure," EJL president Aivar Pohlak told uefa.com.Tournament rulesThe first edition last year saw 13 teams enter, with additional squads from Italy, Portugal, Turkey and China joining in for the 2008 edition. The tournament is played indoors with the rules representing a mix of futsal and football. The competition consists of a series of four one-day mini-tournaments with points being awarded to the eight best teams in each knockout contest. 'Extremely friendly'The new season kicked off in March with [url=http://www.mosinee.wi.us/online.html]wholesale cheap nfl jerseys[/url] champions Anzhi triumphing in the first mini-tournament, beating Armenian side Ararat 3-0 in the final. [url=http://www.proteinasnaturales.com/]cheap nfl jerseys nike[/url] Mamuli won the second tournament last week, also beating Ararat in the decider. "The tournament has been a [url=http://www.recordingartsforum.com/wholesalejerseys.html]wholesale cheap jerseys china[/url] huge success with different nationalities gathering in the sports dispalying flags and banners to support their own teams," [url=http://www.vierbicher.com/about/soccerjerseys.html]wholesale soccer jerseys free shipping[/url] said Pohlak. "The atmosphere has been extremely friendly both on and off the pitch. Everyone is really just enjoying playing football."Minority groupsA non-governmental organisation, the ERÜ was founded in 1988 and represents 49 minority groups. In total, 120 different ethnic groups live in Estonia, with Russians representing the largest group, followed by Ukrainians, Belarussians and Finns. Smaller groups represented in the Nations Cup include Mari, Chuvash and Tatar people, with at least half of the members of all teams needing to have roots in the nation or region they represent.
