SKF has announced the launch of the 2012 SKF Meet the World youth football tournament. “Since 2007 the tournaments have been an integral part of SKF Care, our sustainability commitment,” says Tom Johnstone, SKF president and CEO. “With over 40 000 employees globally, we know that the youth of today might be our future employees, customers, suppliers or even shareholders. The SKF Meet the World tournaments give us a chance to make a positive impact locally and let people know a bit more about SKF.”
The Meet the World tournaments are held in 15 to 20 countries where SKF has a presence. The purpose is to create global meeting points for youngsters, regardless of gender, social background, age, culture or religion. The tournaments take place from December 2011 to June 2012 and winning teams from each country travel to Gothenburg, Sweden to participate in the Gothia Cup, the world’s largest international youth football tournament.
