A Palestinian soccer tournament at a school was named after the monster who carried out the Passover bombing massacre at the Park Hotel—and all 7 participating teams are also named after shahids. From the sports pages of the official PA daily newspaper Al Hayat Al Jadida, Jan 21, 2003:

…in Tulkarm’s Abd Al Majid Tia School soccer field, under the auspices of Jamal Tarif, director of education; Sport Supervisor Jamal Odeh; and in the presence of school principal Jamal Ayat; the head of the Sports committee, and committee members; the Tulkarm Shahids Memorial soccer championship tournament of the Shahid Abd Al-Baset Odeh (the suicide bomber who attacked a Netanya hotel last Passover Eve), began with the participation of seven top teams, named after Shahids who gave their lives to redeem the Homeland. Isam, the brother of the Shahid [of the Passover eve Massacre], will distribute the trophies.

The teams are:
Abed Al Basset Odeh (carried out the Passover Eve Massacre at the Park Hotel in Netanya)
Raed Carmi (slain Tulkarm Fatah Al Aksa Martyrs Brigade commander)
Wajdi Al Hatab (Palestinian youth who requested cake be distributed after his martyrdom)
Tarek Abu Safaka (carried out the suicide attack on the Samaria community of Hermesh on Feb. 10, 2002, killing three Israelis)
Tarek Alqato (Al Aksa Martyrs Brigade operative killed in a clash with IDF troops)
Mahmud Marmash (Netanya suicide bomber)
