EFDN #Morethanfootball Award Dinner Hosted on the Europa Boat

The European Football for Development Network (EFDN) will host its 18th EFDN Conference from the 14th until the 16th of November 2022 in Budapest, Hungary. The topic of this EFDN Conference will be “Sustainability and Human Rights”, which will take place at the Groupama Arena, the stadium of EFDN Member Ferenvárosi TC.

On the second day of the conference (Tuesday the 15th of November), there will be a gala dinner to celebrate the #Morethanfootball award. This dinner will be hosted on the Europa Boat drifting down the Dunabe river. This marvellous, 3-storey vessel with its renewed art-deco interior fulfills all the expectations of our modern world. It’s going to be an unforgettable experience to take a look to Budapest from our deck and praise its beauty, for you are not able to do that from any other part of the capital city. In addition there will be a great dinner served, connections made and finally the #Morethanfootball award being awarded to the winning project.

The goal of the More than Football Award is to honour the best social initiatives in Europe delivered by a European Club, League or FA by celebrating the work they do on and off-pitch on a local, national and international levels. We will hand out the Award for the best project promoted during the 18th EFDN Conference in Budapest, Hungary, which will be assessed not only on the quality of the project but also on the level of promotion and engagement. The 2022 #Morethanfootball Award is powered by Musco Lighting.

The winner of the 2022 #MorethanFootball Award will not only receive recognition for having implemented the most innovative and impactful Community and Social Responsibility programme in European football, but they will also win a complete Mini-Pitch System™ modular sports solution. The club-branded mini-pitch will be developed in partnership with the winning organisation, EFDN and Musco.

The final four shortlisted clubs for the award are: FC Twente with their project “Senior Community FC Twente,” Northampton Town FC with their Project “Tackle Loneliness,” Athletic Bilbao with their project “Culture & Football,” and Newcastle United Foundation with their project “NUCASTLE – Building a United Future.”
