In the Coffee Lodge cafe on Lodge Lane, everyone seems to be talking about one thing.
“Football,” says Hanan Yafai, the business’ owner. This isn’t an unusual topic of conversation for cafes across Merseyside, but here talk isn’t focused on summer transfers or the prospects of Liverpool and Everton next season. Instead chatter has been steadily building around another competition, the World In One City.
Now into its third year and the brainchild of Imad Ali, the tournament is an intra-city world cup made up of nations from all over the globe. Teams are formed of players from different countries combined with Scousers with heritage from outside of the UK.
“It is a big conversation that is taking place in the shop,” explains Hanan, noting how debates around “who are you supporting” or whose family members are on which team can often be heard across tables. Only a few weeks ago Liverpool FC’s Trent Alexander-Arnold was one of those sitting inside the Coffee Lodge discussing the predictions for this year’s event.
