Community Champions League clubs get set for next season

Community Champions League clubs get set for next season

Community Champions League partners met virtually in a webinar to prepare for the next season. Nine clubs from across Europe are looking forward to the upcoming matches in the special competition. The Community Champions League is a social street football competition where participating teams can earn more points through fair play, equitable support and volunteering in community activities than by winning their street football matches. 

EFDN Project Manager Maria López Puchades opened the webinar and requested an update on the activities of the project partners. COVID-19 restrictions and challenges are very different in the countries of the partners but all club representatives are optimistic that they will be able to organise the competition in their local neighbourhoods this autumn. Results, news, photos and videos will be shared on the new Community Champions League website which will be officially launched soon. After discussing the communication and Monitoring & Evaluation, project partners talked about finance and details of the methodology. The clubs agreed on working towards a common point system and will test it throughout the upcoming season. The next project seminar will be hosted by EFDN in November.
