EFDN welcomes new member KAS Eupen
EFDN is pleased to welcome the third Belgian club, KAS Eupen, to the network. From the City of Eupen, based in the German-speaking region of Belgium, the club aims to promote and develop regional, national and international talents together with social & educational responsibility in a professional football environment.
Together with FC Eupen, KAS Eupen represents one of the biggest youth departments in Belgium with about 650 young football players. FC Eupen and KAS Eupen are jointly responsible for the education of children and young people from Eupen and the region, aiming to offer them the opportunity to find their way in leisure and amateur sport and/or in competitive football with a focus on both enjoyment and performance. Laughter, learning and performance can be seen as the clubs’ main principles in the interaction between coaches, players, parents and employees. The training follows a holistic approach, supporting athletic, personal, and school development.
Ambassador for the whole region
KAS Eupen bears a social responsibility for the sporting, personal and educational development of all the youth it works with, including disabled, homeless and other traditionally excluded or at-risk groups. The club sees itself as an ambassador for the region and works integrally in a network with its fans, the regional, national and international clubs, federations, the German-speaking community of East Belgium, the city of Eupen and neighbouring municipalities. The formation of networks with schools, regional companies, and educational institutions, cultural and health-promoting institutions serves an education characterised by openness and independence under the idea of fair play as well as a high degree of commitment.
We look forward to working together and further expanding the impact and reach of football based social development.
You can find more information about the programmes and activities of KAS Eupen on the EFDN member page.
