Preface
In 1999 the indoor football club Rustenburg in Amersfoort was asked by the Symfora Group (centres for mental health care such as Zon en Schild) to include in the club an indoor football team for men with a psychiatric disorder. An important reason for Rustenburg to honour this request was the chance to use indoor football to facilitate the social integration of people with a psychiatric disorder. The fact that sport is of great importance to the target group goes without saying. The aforementioned team has played in the ‘regular’ competition since 2000 en we can see how this contributes to the daily lives and well-being of the members of the team. Players of other clubs react positively to our players and the goals set by the management of indoor football club Rustenburg are accomplished. For the past year the team has played in the E.A.S.I. Cup (European Association for Sport and Social Integration) under the flag of the Symfora Group. This tournament is organized annually in one of the participating European countries. In recent years tournaments were held in England, Austria and Germany.
In the beginning of 2009 a working group was established to study the feasibility of having the 2010 E.A.S.I. cup take place in Amersfoort. The Symfora Group provided funding on the festive occasion of merging with Meerkanten, which made it financially possible to organise the tournament. Also, the Symfora Group would underwrite the financial risks, which turned the balance in favour of Amersfoort’s official candidacy for the organisation of the E.A.S.I. cup 2010. The nomination was awarded to the Netherlands – Amersfoort in August of 2009. The working group undertook a number of preparatory measures that have been further filled in and executed by a newly established project group. During the preliminary phase a steering committee was set up by Zon en Schild that would bear responsibility on behalf of the Symfora Group for the overall organisation of the E.A.S.I. Cup as well as the sports and games day on July 1st on the grounds of Zon en Schild.
In general the program is as follows:From Monday June 28th until Friday July 2nd 2010 we welcome some 250 foreign guests who will spend one week in Amersfoort. On Tuesday June 29th and Thursday July 1st the football tournament / E.A.S.I. Cup 2010 will take place. The foreign guests will stay at large accommodation in Austerlitz.
