#Morethanfootball Action Weeks kick-off today

#Morethanfootball Action Weeks kick-off today

Clubs, leagues and FAs and their associated charities join forces to promote the social power of football. Today, 22nd of March, EFDN’s annual #Morethanfootball Action Weeks (22.03. – 18.04.2021) kick-off.

Football has always been much more than just a game. Unfortunately, people rarely see the stories of the excellent daily work being done through football organisations’ community and social development initiatives. Food distributions, phone calls and visits to socially isolated fans, online sport classes, fundraisers – football organisations have continued to demonstrate that they are #Morethanfootball throughout the last months. We are united in the goal to use the power of football for social development and positive change. Let’s demonstrate this online!

In these distant times, fans can support their club, league or FA (foundation) by bidding on match worn shirts and additional exclusive items.
