International soccer event in Michigan canceled
PONTIAC, Mich. — Organizers of an international soccer event scheduled for the Pontiac Silverdome say it has been canceled.
Organizer Pius Oleh tells the Detroit Free Press “all the teams didn’t get a visa.”
The original plan was to have five teams play over the weekend of Feb. 12. The matches were switched to May 21-23 and were to involve teams from Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Malaysia and Puerto Rico.
Finally, it was downsized to a one-day event with four area youth teams playing exhibition games followed by Kenya vs. Malaysia on Sunday.
