More than 1,500 attendees representing more than 50 countries at the SIFE World Cup 2008 held in Singapore in October demonstrated the strength of SIFE's international network and global reach. At the SIFE World Cup 2008, the top SIFE teams in the world presented the results of their outreach projects to determine which teams made the most impact on their communities.

SIFE students from 41 countries competed at the 8th annual event with the team from Memorial University of Newfoundland in Canada emerging as champion. The first runner-up was Obafemi Awolowo University in Nigeria. Also advancing to the final round of competition were the SIFE teams from Alpha Arts and Science College in India (3rd place) and Singapore Polytechnic from the host country of Singapore (4th place).

"This is a competition where the best business-minded students gather from around the world," said Bruce Nasby, SIFE International Executive Vice President. "When we get them together, amazing things happen. Not only do they share their passion for improving their communities through business principles, but they also make lasting friendships with students from other countries and interact with leading business executives from around the world."

SIFE is represented in 47 countries with more than 38,000 students enrolled in some 1,500 colleges and universities.
