FC Akron Togliatti – ‘Save the Forest together’
Russian EFDN member FC Akton Togliatti is a young and ambitious football club that aims to invest in youth development while being at the same moment a purpose-driven football club with a strong focus on cooperation with the community.
Togliatti itself is a unique town that was built along the river Volga with three main city districts divided from one another by a forest. Unfortunately, during the summer of 2021, due to high temperatures outside and rain deficit, there were massive forest fires that damaged more than 150 hectares of forest. The management team of FC Akron Togliatti organised an event called “Safe the forest together”. On this day players and coaches together with fans of FC Akron went to plant new trees in the forest. During this meetup, fans could not only enjoy the process of planting a tree but also speak with players, make some photos with them and receive some memorable gifts. Most active fans got signed jerseys as a gift.
