10 years since its inception, the BXL Euroleague is now a major fixture on the football calendar. This amateur league was originally set up to bring EU institution colleagues together for a friendly kickabout. Now, 21 European teams are involved in the competition and the sides aren't just limited to EU workers. A feat of organisation, the BXL Euroleague aims to promote camaraderie and cooperation, though it can also get quite competitive. To find out more, we spoke to referee and head of the organising committee, Jean-Marie Rémy, one of the founding members, Milton Nunes, and Alberto Zini, an Italian actually playing for the Slovenian team.
