The Parade of Nations

The teams gathered at the end of the Copacabana Beach in a festive atmosphere. Flags were waving, players singing national songs, cameras were busy and then the march began. Team Finland seemed to enjoy the atmosphere and found many new friends on the other teams.

Suomi is ready for the parade!

Patrick makes sure everyone knows where we are from!

Ask Kenneth how the coconut milk tasted!!
