Football for a good cause: benefit tournament for children with cancer in Leipzig!
Leipzig-Stötteritz, Deutschland - On June 15, 2025, the 24th football tournament for children with cancer will take place in Leipzig-Stötteritz, organized by the "Parents' Aid for Children with Cancer". This remarkable event has set itself the goal of offering affected children and their families support. The tournament has been broadcast live from sports in the east for two years, and around 50,000 euros have been collected in the past two years. These funds flow into the psychosocial accompaniment of the sick children and their relatives, an area that is often underfunded, since the therapy costs are often not covered by health insurance companies. The type of support includes, among other things, art, music and sports therapies as well as psychological support.
What is behind this special event? Every year around 2,200 children and adolescents develop cancer in Germany, and the most common form of these diseases is blood cancer, also known as leukemia, which is about a third of cases. Support is essential in these difficult times, because the diseases have many changes for the families concerned. The exchange with other affected people and the support of psychosocial teams are crucial in order to be able to better counter the challenges, such as the

The exciting quarterfinals start at 5 p.m. and the first winners are determined around 6 p.m. Selected prominent players reinforce the team from Sport in the east, which gives the tournament an additional shine. It is all the more important to draw attention to the concerns of children with cancer, especially since the chances of recovery are good with early discovery and suitable therapy.
The importance of support
For many families, the diagnosis of cancer is a huge cut. The Website for parents of children with cancer offers important information and assistance in order to better master the stressful everyday life. Psychological advice and an open exchange are of great importance, not only for the children concerned, but also for their relatives. Rehabilitation options and participation in an active community help to ensure that the families can better survive not only the time of the disease, but also the subsequent aftercare.
The tournament in Leipzig is not just a sporting event, but an entire network of support for everyday heroes who fight against this serious illness every day. It remains to be hoped that numerous donations will come together this year to "help the parent for children with cancer to continue to support successfully.
