MORE THAN FOOTBALL AWARD 2020

Five projects have been selected for the More than Football Award 2020 powered by Musco Lighting. Programmes implemented by Borussia Dortmund, Club Brugge, Legia Warsaw, Malmö FF and Pro League have been selected for the 2020 shortlist. Usually, only four projects are chosen for the award that honours the best community and social responsibility (CSR) initiative in European football, but this year five projects impressed members of the jury hence the exception. 

The applicants selected for the shortlist will make a 15-minute presentation at the upcoming 14th EFDN “#Morethanfootball” Conference which will be organised online from 9–11 November. Afterwards, attending EFDN members will choose the winning project.
