“Hajrá Fradi!”

Being the first among the Hungarian sports clubs, FTC started its anti-discrimination campaign in 2012, since when the club has launched many actions and shared videos to raise supporters’ attention to this issue. In its latest activities, FTC implemented some banners and a choreography, as a gesture supporting the cause.

While some children and their families were holding them, the banners highlighted the importance of values such as fair play, passion, respect, humbleness and team play. In the visual choreography – containing the club’s emblem -, the athletes of Ferencvaros shaped a heart with their hand-prints: “We are one at Fradi!

The multiple award-winner football team was represented in the activity by Otigba Kenneth, Fernando Gorriaran, Marcel Heister and Takács Zsombor together with former players Lisztes Krisztian and Keller Jozsef. Three major figures of the Hungarian Cup-winner women’s handball team that was champion in 2015 and winner of the Hungarian Cup joined the cause, in the names of 2017 Faluvégi Dorottya, Márton Gréta and Szemerey Zsófi. Many others participated in the preparations as well, such as the women’s footballers Samu Anna and Fenyvesi Evelin; but also several ice hockey players with Nagy Gergő, Hardi Richárd, Arany Gergely, Lampert Fanni, Szederkényi Lilla, Hidasi Szabina, Hidasi Dorina and Tóth Eszter. The wrestling discipline was also represented by World and European Champions Bácsi Péter, Váncza István, Szabados Noémi and Széles József; whereas some athletes from other divisions were also supporting the cause, such as Keresztes Kristóf and Fekete Dorina from the kayak-canoe division, the fencer Zsoldosi Karolina, the athlete Galambos Tibor, the power lifter Sas Sándor, triathlon athlete Lévay Petra, the cyclist Ocelka Róbert and the junior World Champion swimmer Mihályvári-Farkas Viktória.

The participation of athletes from the younger generation in favour of the anti-discrimination campaign represented a symbolic value, as it is crucial that the youth also understands the internally omniscient message: “We are one at Fradi!”.
