FRF highlights FREE KICKS during European Week of Sport
The European Week of Sport occurs every year between 23 and 30 September across Europe and beyond to promote more active, healthier lifestyles among millions of people.
As part of the 2024 European Sports Week, the Romanian Football Federation (FRF) hosted a “Sustainable Management of Sports Events” conference. A central focus of the conference was the FREE KICKS project which has been a significant step forward in the FRF sustainability journey.
This event was organised in partnership with the National Sports Agency and Corporate Games Sports Association. Attendees included sports professionals, public authorities, and other corporate representatives or delegates. Attendees were given a guided tour of the FRF headquarters, met key football figures and learned more about the Federation’s efforts to create a sustainable future in sport.
Florin Şari, FRF Manager of Public Policy and Social Responsibility, highlighted the federation’s progress towards achieving EMAS certification through the project. He also mentioned how the project will be crucial in the preparations of FRF to meet the new sustainability standards for organising sports events starting in 2025 since Romania is set to host the 2025 UEFA Under-19 European Football Championship.
During the conference, it was noted that the FREE KICKS project was a reflection of the Federation’s long-term vision, building up learnings from the FRF’s experiences gained from organising major sporting events like EURO 2020 and the EURO Under-21 Championship in 2023.
