Dear Friends and Colleagues,

As you all know, 2010 will be a great year for FOOTBALL!!

The FIFA World Cup in South Africa this summer will see Italy defending their title, Spain will show the world that they can be more than European Champions and Brazil will also look forward to become World Champions for the 6th time and possibly defend their title 4 years later in Brazil!

But 2010 will especially celebrate the great return of the MUNDIAVOCAT!

The 15th edition of the MundiAvocat will take place from the 28th of May to the 6th of June 2010 in Antalya, TURKEY, where we will have the great pleasure to meet once again the Brazilians which first participated to the MundiAvocat in Alicante last year.

Mexico will also be there to defend their title. The MundiAvocat 2010 will also see the venue of many Italian teams and some new teams from AFRICA!

Our loyal teams from EUROPE, ASIA and the whole AMERICA will join us...

Many Colleagues attended in September the General Assembly in the "World of Wonders" resort to discover the wonderful place of the next MundiAvocat.

They took note of the amazing grass football pitches, all located minutes away from the Topkapi and Kremlin Hotels where we will all be staying.

Some of you expressed their wishes for a unity of place and the "all- inclusive" formula, and that is what you will all enjoy during this next edition.

Antalya 2010 will also mark the 2nd edition of the MundiAvocat "MASTER" which had seen 20 teams competing against each other in 2008.

New teams are expected to come!

We remind you the principle of the tournament: reserved to lawyers over 35 years with an exemption for 5 players of 30 to 35 years.

The Bar Association of Paris already confirmed their participation to the 2nd edition of the MundiAvocat Master.

The team from Buenos Aires will have to be in for a challenge!

Best regards,

Vincent PINATEL Lawyer at the Bar Association of Marseilles and founder of the MundiAvocat
