Fair Sport 4 All at SC Cambuur
Yesterday on the 27th of September, the first Fair Sport 4 All Workshop was held at the Cambuurstadion, the stadium of the Eredivisie club and recently added EFDN member SC Cambuur. The workshop consisted of a mix of learning tools to teach the SC Cambuur team about the dangers of match-fixing and what to do when they are involved in any way in a match-fixing situation.
The next workshops will be hosted by Club Brugge and NAC Breda as EFDN hopes to continue to educate and spread the message of Fair Sport 4 All. If any club would like to host a workshop, please contact EFDN.

FAIR SPORT 4 ALL PROGRAMME
Fair Sport 4 All is a 36-month-programme that aims to raise awareness of the threats of match-fixing, by educating clubs’, players and all stakeholders involved in the game. The main objective of the programme is to ensure that the integrity and values of true sportsmanship are represented, respected, and encouraged by all individuals involved in European football.
To safeguard integrity and reinforce the true values of sportsmanship, the Fair Sport 4 All programme proposes a number of comprehensive components.

This handbook features a set of guidelines on how clubs can sustain the integrity of football, which can also be used by leagues, FAs, and all stakeholders operating within football. This handbook will help to educate players on match-fixing, no matter the level they play at.
