The goal of the network is to encourage clubs and football foundations to share knowledge, best practices and experiences on an international level in order to enhance the quality and efficiency of national and local football for development initiatives. This is achieved through the international exchange of staff, trainees and participants, international conferences, an online knowledge platform and developing European community programmes.
EFDN supports and promotes the use of football to address social issues such as education, health, social inclusion, and community development. We encourage football clubs and their foundations to engage with their local communities and use the sport to tackle social challenges.
EFDN facilitates the exchange of knowledge, expertise, and best practices among its members through conferences, workshops, and collaborative projects. We also provide guidance and resources to help football clubs and foundations develop effective social programs and initiatives.
