Hintergrund
KAA Gent is very much aware of its social responsibility and acts accordingly. KAA Gent Football in the community was founded in 2009. Since 2011, ‘Voetbal in de stad’ is a unique public-private collaboration between KAA Gent, the local authorities and the KAA Gent Supporters Federation. The organisation develops and supports a large number of projects benefitting the society, youth football and solidarity between the club, local residents and supporters. KAA Gent Homeless Blue White offers a framework to work with homeless, refugees and people with addiction problems. They meet weekly and work on the football pitch on social emancipation, respect, diversity and fair play.
