CERI FC Hits the Field for a Friendly Clash with CubeSpace!
On Friday, April 19th, our newly formed soccer team, CERI FC, played its very first friendly match. The game was held in Stellenbosch, and it was much more than just a soccer match; it was about building a sense of team and community among our research group.
The team, led by Captain Graeme Dor, a PhD candidate at CERI, proudly wore their custom-designed kits for the first time. These kits were sponsored by CLIMADE-(Climate Amplified Diseases and Epidemics), which brings together a consortium of leading global scientists, focuses on bridging knowledge gaps, improving surveillance tools and expanding adequate interventions to decrease the impact of climate amplified diseases and epidemics. The initiative was launched in December 2022 and is already making important impacts in Africa
Our opponents were CubeSpace ADCS, a company known for their innovative satellite control systems. They brought their best game, making it a fun and challenging match for everyone involved. This was a great chance for people from both teams to take a break from their tech-heavy work and enjoy some good, old-fashioned soccer.
The match was full of friendly rivalry and laughter, showing how much both CERI and CubeSpace value working together and respecting each other. Even though it was the first time our team played together, their great teamwork and spirit were promising signs of more exciting games in the future.
But the event was about more than just playing soccer. It celebrated our commitment to health, wellness, and community involvement. Playing sports like soccer helps our team members unwind, recharge, and build strong relationships, which are crucial for a harmonious and productive workplace.
