"Football is the world's most popular sport, played by 204 countries in the world. I am very proud to learn that there are a very large number of Lions who had been very good Football players during their school days. Investment on youth is the best way to build up a disciplined society, said Past International Director Lion Mahendra Amarasuriya.

He said so at a meeting held at St. Aloysius College Grounds, Galle after distributing Challenge Shields, Trophies and certificates to the winners of the Football Tournament organised by the Galle District Football League and the International Association of Lions Clubs District 306'A'.
