Merck’s 5-a-side football team are the
reigning champions of "BELhospice 2010".
This popular annual event was held on
Saturday 29 May 2010 in Sport Centre
Kovilovo, raising funds essential for
the care of our terminally ill cancer
patients in Belgrade.
Hyundai, Jugohemija, Roche, PharmaSwiss,
Agro Bank, Crédit Agricole Bank, Telekom
Srbija, Coca-Cola HBC, Actavis, Merck,
Makler, KPMG
and
Ernst&Young
each had participating teams.
The teams were divided
 into
four groups, and the best two teams out
of each group qualified for the
quarterfinals. 23 matches were played in
total during the tournament.
The champions, Merck, won
"BELhospice 2010" after playing some
fantastic qualifying matches. A big
semi-final clash with the defending
champions, Jugohemija resulted in
Merck getting through to the
final.
The final match was between Merck
and Actavis, who had knocked out
PharmaSwiss, last year's
finalist. The final was a top quality
game, but at the final whistle, Merck
proved the better side winning 2-0.
Actavis were runners-up, and
PharmaSwiss were placed third.
The Champion’s Cup and other valuable
prizes were elegantly
presented by BELhospices's nurses Ms.
Bojana Kostovic and Mrs. Ivana
Lapadatovic.
A special Winner's Cup was presented by
Mr. Milan Sotra, the president of
Sport Centre Kovilovo.
 With
such fantastic support, 15,000.00 Euros
was raised for BELhospice’s care of
terminally ill cancer patients.
BELhospice Director Dr Natasa Milicevic
congratulated "BELhospice 2010"
Champions Merck, and expressed
her gratitude to all the teams and
companies who participated in this
tournament. She also thanked the
Association of Football Referees of
Belgrade, the Association of Serbian
Managers,
 and
the hosts of this tournament, Sport
Centre Kovilovo. She said that together
they had all made this event possible,
enabling crucial palliative care for
cancer patients.
