Football is for everyone and overweight is no longer an excuse to stay on the bench. In the city of Veracruz, Mexico, a tournament has been created called the 'Championship of the Chubbies'.

The Seven Goal group, a 7-a-side football league, has decided to organize this 'fat tournament', where the main requirement is to weigh 90 kilograms or more. But the prizes for the winners are also significant.

The winning team will receive 150 dollars, 80 dollars for the second place, and 40 dollars for the top scorer. The idea was launched through the club's website and aims to change the habits of the participants.

They reminded that obesity is one of the major risk factors for COVID-19 infections.
