This is how LINEA eV, a non-profit association with a focus on child and youth welfare in Gelsenkirchen, summarized the unique experience of 35 children, who organized the invitation from Schalke helps!
They followed the game closely in a block together with Sidi Sané and Rodrigo Zalazar (professional football players). In addition to charitable organizations such as the Gelsenkirchener Tafel eV, the Lebenshilfe-Werk and the association “Diversity in the Ruhr Area”, 24 children from the St. Urbanus day-care center were able to get a taste of Bundesliga air and welcome the Royal Blues to their first home game of the new year.
