EUROPEAN FAIR PLAY SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP 2017 in PRORA/Germany

Wednesday 19.07.2017 - Sunday 23.07.2017

Up to 350 young people from all over Europe can participate in the finals of the 3rd European Fair Play Soccer Championship 2017. We are looking forward to welcoming again guests from all parts of Europe.
  
The European Championship in street soccer at the Baltic Sea is an important initiative focusing on fair play, equal opportunities and diversity. Fair Play is not just an intrinsic attitude but also a willingness and strong message directed at the public. To become acquainted with this philosophy through sports as a young person and to live it as an adult is an important mission in our society that we all should support. We can only expect from life what we are willing to give back ourselves.

Sport brings people together. When young people train as a group, work alongside each other to ensure the success of their team, or celebrate wins and overcome defeats together, then they also develop a sense of community. Boys and girls from different cultural backgrounds experience how important mutual consideration and understanding for the point of view of others are if shared goals are to be achieved. 
They thus become aware whilst playing and having fun that diversity, integration and inclusion also enhance everyday life.
This is what we especially expect from this event: That this “competition” promotes fair play and diversity in Europe.

Street soccer is an ideal way to achieve this. The talent of every single player, of every individual, counts and no-one is left on the sidelines. While teams from different nations will create excitement and entertainment on the pitch, various seminars and workshops will provide a lot of interesting things to do.


Each country participating brings in a male and a female team (exceptions must be justified – the organizers keep the right to refuse participation). Only 1 male and 1 female team per country is allowed participation.


A team consists of 3 players + 1 substitute. Each male and/or female team can be accompanied by a leader. Max. 10 people per country. 


We invite and would like to welcome fair play minded players, trainers as well as guests from near and far. We wish as much as possible of you will be involved in this successful fair play football tournament at the Baltic Sea again.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. 
Looking forward to your participation and see you soon!
