Football For A Better Chance

The 30-month project aims to promote social inclusion and combat the radicalization of young people aged 14 to 18. This will be achieved through football, the most popular sport in Romania, more precisely through the development of programs for different stages of training young athletes.

“Football For A Better Chance” will benefit from the expertise of sociologists from UNIMORE University in the Emilia-Romagna region, Italy, who will lay the foundations of a specific training that, later, football coaches in Romania will implement together with their own players. In total, 18 international specialists and experts will collaborate in the project, including eight Romanian Football Federation (RFF) representatives. In the final stage of the project, the knowledge and techniques acquired as a result of the research and implementation of trainings in Romania, will be applied in four other European countries, Ireland, Portugal, Greece and Lithuania. Starting with August 2015, once with the foundation of the Social Responsibility Department, the RFF has run a continuous program of education and promotion of the values of social inclusion and prevention of radical behaviour. The RFF is the first sporting federation with such a department in Romania.
