On a sunny Monday evening, it's a big match for Nigeria vs Zimbabwe as they battle it out for their place in a world tournament right in the city.
Communities from across Liverpool have come together for The World In One City, a football tournament which has captured the imagination of fans from many different backgrounds. The 16 qualified finalists are Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Kurdistan, West Indies, England, Jamaica, Yemen, Congo, Somali Team, Libya, R.O.T.W (Rest Of The World), Iran, Bangladesh, Brazil, Guinea Bissau and Poland.
The tournament was created by "football crazy" Imad Ali, originally from Toxteth of Yemeni heritage, who wanted to bring communities together. On Monday, the ECHO went down to Jericho Lane Football and Fitness to watch a match, meet football managers and spectators and chat to Imad about why he created this tournament.
