#MorethanFootball Action Weeks 15.09. – 11.10.2020
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.
We believe that all European clubs, leagues and FAs go above and beyond organising a game with 22 players on the pitch. Therefore, in order to showcase and further broaden the reach of Community and Social Responsibility in the European Football, the #Morethanfootball Action Weeks were established in 2017.
The #Morethanfootball Action Weeks are a global campaign for the European Football community to showcase the impact of their community and social responsibility activities. During the #Morethanfootball Action Weeks, the participating organisations celebrate the work they do on and off the pitch on local, national and international level.
Following the success of the campaign in the first three years, and after being postponed due to COVID-19, the 2020 #Morethanfootball campaign, running from the 15th of September to the 11th of October, will bring together the biggest team of football clubs, players, leagues, FAs and fans. Join us!
No matter what colour. We are one team. We are #Morethanfootball.

MORE THAN FOOTBALL AWARD
2019 saw the first #Morethanfootball Award ceremony at the 13th EFDN “CSR in European Football” Conference in Barcelona in November. Shakhtar Social Foundation won the first More than Football Award.
The goal of the More than Football Award is to honour the best social initiatives in Europe delivered by a European Club, League or FA by celebrating the work they do on and off-pitch on a local, national and international levels. We will hand out the Award for the best project promoted during the #Morethanfootball Action Weeks (15.09. – 11.10.2020), which will be assessed not only on the quality of the project but also on the level of promotion and engagement.
To be eligible for the Award, organisations should register as a participant and describe the details of their events and activities in an application form. The application form should be sent back by email to actionweek@morethanfootball.eu.
