DOWN! SET! HIKE!.... Do you like to play football? Did you know that there is a day called INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL DAY? In case you didn't know, I'm going to tell you all about it.
The day is celebrated on September 27. People are not sure why it's on that date, but they do know that 5 kids, named Jacob, Tanner, Aaron, Mason, and David, started the first celebration. The holiday started in the year of 1984 when they were 12 years old. They used to hang out at Aaron's club tree house. Since many Americans love their football, they decided to ask people to vote for the day. When the votes were counted, YES is was 82% said!
Now it is a celebration day for the Country of the United States. The day went like this. There would be no school on it and there would be football games played all over the country. The 2 best teams from every state would have a tournament at the Valley and Waukee Stadiums. The 2 teams that played for the championship would get money. The losing team would get $500,000 and the winning team would get $1,000,000. The money would then be donated to the charity of their choice. All the people loved the day, especially, the 5 boys.
That is all about my INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL DAY!!!
