10 ACTIVITY REPORT 2016/17 11 2017 UEFA FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN AWARDS

Every year since 2015, the UEFA Foundation for Children Award has recognised and supported charities promoting the fundamental rights of children.

In 2017 the award was shared between 20 beneficiaries selected in close cooperation with UEFA’s member associations, which were invited to nominate local organisations that they considered deserving and that shared and respected the principles laid down in the ethics code of the UEFA Foundation for Children.

Eligible projects were nominated by 23 member associations. With three of those associations having already received financial support from the foundation in the past, the board of trustees decided to share the €1m prize money equally between the 20 remaining associations (€50,000 each).

HOUSE OF SPORT

The construction of a sports centre, the House of Sport, has made a major contribution to the life of the Zaatari community. This initi- ative, which was launched inside the camp itself with funding and support from the UEFA Foundation for Children, working with the AFDP and the Jordan Football Associa- tion, lets children and adults play sport, have some fun and forget about their difficulties for a while. The sports centre is equipped for different sports and has a new artificial foot- ball pitch, made possible thanks to the finan- cial support of PepsiCo’s Lay’s brand. This has enabled numerous football tournaments to be organised and is also used for coach edu- cation and team training sessions. As a safe and secure environment where refugee chil- dren and their families can make friends, the sports centre helps to bring people together and create a community spirit.
