NEA KAVALA, Greece — Refugees in Greece have had a field day. There was dancing and drums at halftime, and children on the sidelines who shrieked at every turn of the game. After 90 minutes, the score was 1-1 for Hersos and Nea Kavala — teams that took their names from refugee camps near Greece's northern border. Most of the stranded have seen little of their host country, since the migrant camps are generally located outside Greek towns. "There will be more games with local clubs in the area and we already have the next match lined up."
