More than Football Award Nominee – Apollon Limassol FC
This year will see the first More than Football Award ceremony at the 13th EFDN Conference, hosted at Camp Nou, Barcelona on the 19th and 20th of November 2019. From an array of high-quality submissions for the award, Apollon Limassol FC’s “#Apollon_DriveSafe” is one of 10 projects that have been selected for the initial long list.
Apollon Limassol FC has launched a new campaign called “#Apollon_DriveSafe” in the season 2018-19, which aims to promote driving consciousness and safety on the road. The decision to begin this campaign was due to the fact that Cyprus has the second-highest rate of fatal car accidents per capita throughout Europe. The club aims to raise awareness among drivers and promote sensible and safe driving, through various actions and ads. Apollon Limassol FC took the campaign on the road, by visiting various schools around the city, where players and members of the local authorities took the stand and talked to young kids about the project.
Successful community work
For more than ten years now is Apollon Limassol a leading team in community involvement and anti-racism campaign and is planning to expand the social impact in the coming years. The club was awarded by UEFA for the rich social work they have done, and especially for the anti-violence and anti-racism campaigns.
