UEFA is determined to assist its member associations in managing the social, environmental and economic impact of football across Europe.
Social responsibility in football was the focus of a two-day UEFA workshop in Nyon funded by UEFA’s HatTrick assistance programme and attended by representatives of 53 European national associations.
The purpose of the workshop was threefold: first, to create a common understanding of the concept of social responsibility, what it means and how it applies to football; second, to review the HatTrick IV regulations and to explain the application process for obtaining incentive funding for social responsibility projects; and third, to inspire associations to develop a social responsibility strategy through the sharing of experience and good practice.
