How to showcase Community and Social Programmes during the #MorethanFootball Action Week?

During the Action Week, all participating organisations can highlighting their flagship social and community programmes in whichever way they desire. The participating organisations can showcase their social impact during the designated period through activities as presence at home matches of the club and using modern and traditional media such as websites, social media channels, events, videos, banners, billboards, posters and brochures.

Through the use of the hashtag #MorethanFootball all participating clubs, foundations and leagues can promote their own local programmes and activities while being part of this exciting European Campaign.

All initiatives of the participating organisations will be captured and published on the official #MorethanFootball website and the campaign’s social media channels (Facebook/ Twitter/ Instagram).  After the campaign, it will be a key process for EFDN to create a report along with our research partners to highlight all facts and figures of the impact of the campaign on national and European level. This will highlight to what extent football can have a positive impact on the society.
