Nitya Khandelwal, an Indian eighth grader from Copenhagen International School, has been confirmed as the best Danish-based journalist competing in Gazprom’s Football For Friendship Euro 2020 News Bureau initiative.
She was chosen by 12 young journalists invited by Gazprom to cover matches at the Park – a jury decision based on the standard of her duties, which included writing a match report, a life hack on mobile journalism, predicting who would win the tournament’s goal prize and overall performance during six online classes.
Khandelwal, along with his ten co-winners (see list below), each from a Euro 2020 co-host, will take part in a ceremony at the end of August where the award goal for the tournament will be presented by Czech player Patrick Schick for his long-range efforts against Scotland.
“Extremely tense” competition
It is expected at the ceremony that one of the eleven will be crowned as the F4F EURO 2020 News Bureau’s best young journalist.
“The competition was extremely exciting. That is why we have decided to mark the excellent results for the following participants, โcommented Gazprom after revealing its selection.
A number of runners-up were also announced, giving them a special prize. From Copenhagen, Jesse Kamara was elected.
The Goal of the Tournament Award is a unique honor that Gazprom has launched in the framework of its partnership with the European Championship.
