“Drumul Mingii” roadshow in Piatra Neamț

On Sunday, 15 May 2011, the “Drumul Mingii” roadshow will arrive at 14.00 in Piața Ștefan cel Mare in Piatra Neamț. This sporting event, which aims to take 1,000 football fans on a tour of Romania, started in Timișoara and will cover 2,400 km over 40 days, passing through 35 towns and villages before finishing in Brașov County.

The event will open with an address by the local authorities and organisers. From 14.30 to 15.10, a match will take place between supporters from Piatra Neamț and Romanian Football Legends. The former Romanian football stars who will play in the match in Piatra Neamț, on the small football pitch set up in Piața Ștefan cel Mare, are Adrian Bumbescu, Miodrag Belodedici, Costel Orac and Sorin Cârțu.

After the Romanian football legends' match, the event will continue until the end of the day with competitions featuring questions on the cup's history, dribbling around cones, shooting at goal from the halfway line, keepie-uppies and other mini competitions.

The town of Piatra Neamț was chosen to host this event for several reasons: a Romanian Football Cup final was held here three years ago, Piatra Neamț has a long tradition in Romanian football, and Piatra Neamț will host several sporting activities in the future. After the event in Piatra Neamț, the “Drumul Mingii” roadshow will continue towards Bistrița Năsăud.

The organisers invite football fans to Piața Ștefan cel Mare on Sunday to take part in and support this sporting event and join the Romanian football legends from 14:00.
