'Congratulations, You Have Won The Football Championship',

imagine how proud the winning team must have been, 


when they picked up the first prize, a coffin!, of course not an ordinary coffin, this was the best of the best, coming in at 4,500 thousand soles (about $1,300) while the second and third place teams received cheaper models, with 12 teams competing in Coffin Cup 2019, they, the teams, chose some thematic names for themselves, like “Last Goodbye”, “Eternal Dream”, “Rest and Peace”, “Los Angeles” or “Road to Paradise” you may have guessed the league is a competition between teams representing the twelve largest funeral houses in the Puno Region of southeastern Peru,


the Copa Ataúdes or Coffin Cup, a yearly futsal tournament hosted by the Peruvian city of Juliaca, and in case you think the teams did not display enough spirit in the games, the winning team paraded their $1,300 luxury coffin on their shoulders and singing “Olé, olé, campeon!” at the end of the funeral final march, match, organizers declared themselves proud of being the first to offer coffins as prizes in a sports competition, and promised to put even more expensive ones on the line next year, “I want to thank God. Never at an international level has there been an inter-hospitality championship with coffins as prizes,” a Coffin Cup official told reporters, I wonder which one of the team gets to keep the coffin?
