9 Otti Kamov sabato: l'attrazione di Picigin a Sablicova per la lotta di Rok

The ninth edition of Dobri Kamov, a popular picigin tournament, will take place on Saturday, August 29, starting at 3 p.m., at Sablićeva, a renowned seaside spot in Rijeka’s Pećine area. Organized annually, this event combines local tradition with community spirit, offering participants a chance to engage in friendly competition while contributing to a meaningful cause. Picigin, a traditional Croatian water-based game involving teams competing in a playful yet competitive manner, has become a beloved summer activity. This year's event promises to bring together some of the best players in the region, all under the sun-soaked skies of Sablićeva. The tournament will feature teams of four to five members, though larger groups are welcome. Each match lasts ten minutes, and participation requires a €10 fee per team member. These funds will directly support Roko, a two-year-old boy who faces challenges in his development due to health issues requiring ongoing therapy. The event serves a dual purpose: it is both a celebration of local culture and a fundraiser for Roko’s care. The collected donations will help cover the costs of essential therapies that aid his growth and well-being. The organizers emphasize that the community plays a vital role in making this possible, encouraging everyone, whether through direct participation or financial contribution, to join the effort. Registration for the tournament is open through multiple channels, including phone calls and messages sent to the number 095 820 6449, where a pleasant male voice answers by Sandi. For those preferring in-person interaction, registration can be done at 3 p.m. on the day of the event at the location itself. Participants can expect a lively atmosphere, with music, prizes, and refreshments available at the nearby beach bar “Kamov.” A three-member jury will evaluate each team based on their dedication, the attractiveness of their play, and the overall charm of the group. The tournament aims to foster camaraderie among locals while raising awareness about the importance of early intervention in child development. It reflects the broader trend of using community-driven initiatives to address social and medical challenges, leveraging local traditions to create positive change. With its blend of fun and purpose, Dobri Kamov continues to serve as a model for how grassroots efforts can make a tangible difference in people's lives. As preparations continue, the event stands as a testament to the power of collective action and the enduring appeal of cultural traditions. Those interested in joining the tournament or supporting Roko are encouraged to reach out through the provided means before the deadline. The day promises to be filled with energy, laughter, and hope, all centered around a shared commitment to bettering the community.
