The boys’ SV Seitzenhahn football team in Taunusstein, Hesse, used to be a losing team, at the bottom of the table. But when a group of refugee boys joined the team, something dramatic happened: they started winning. The boys and their teammates now describe one another as a “family” more so than a team.
