AEK FC starts second phase of “Welcome Through Football” Project
The second phase of the European international social project of EFDN “ Welcome Through Football”, in which AEK FC participates, in cooperation with other European football Clubs was successfully completed.
The children who took part in this phase of the program had the opportunity
to meet the AKE FC player Karim Ansarifard, to visit OAKA stadium and our headquarters,
to meet the players of AEK B, to attend a home Super League match, to be learned from the sports nutritionists of the football team, to participate in the sports tournament organized by “Shedia” in Syntagma Square and to spend a whole day at the beautiful NISI Raches in Stylida, where they participated in a friendly tournament with the local Academies of Stylida and Molos.
The third phase has the aim to achieve the best possible adaptation of refugees and immigrants in Greece and will begin in a few days, always in collaboration with the Athens Comics Library.
Welcome Through Football is an EFDN initiative. Current projects across Europe receive funding from the Eramus+ programme of the European Union and the UEFA Foundation for Children.
The Welcome Through Football 2021 project aims to assist in the integration and inclusion of recently arrived young refugees, asylum seekers and young people with a migrant background. EFDN and partners will develop and test a European methodology that uses football as a tool to reach refugees and migrants from different ages (7-25 years old) to get them physically and social active in European communities.
