Children’s press conference at VfL Bochum

Contribution from May 2, 2022

Many kids dream of meeting a real professional footballer. For the boys and girls from “Fußball trifft Kultur” at the Werner von Siemens School, this dream came true.

On Tuesday, April 28, the children from the Bochum “Fußball trifft Kultur” group went on a short trip to the Vonovia Stadium. The 22 girls and boys had the opportunity to meet their new sponsor in person at a children’s press conference in the Stadtwerke Bochum LOUNGE: Christopher Antwi-Adjei, professional footballer at VfL Bochum, answered the pupils’ questions directly and won their affection in no time at all.

Kinderpressekonferenz beim VfL Bochum — Einen echten Profi-Fußballer treffen – davon träumen viele Kids. Für die Jungs und Mädchen von „Fußball trifft Kultur“ an der Werner von Siemens Schule ging dieser Traum in Erfüllung. Am Dienstag, den 28. April, ging es für die Kinder aus der Bochumer „Fußball trifft Kultur“-Gruppe auf eine kleine Reise ins Vonovia Stadion. Die 22 Mädchen und Jungen hatten die Gelegenheit, im Rahmen einer Kinder-Pressekonferenz in der Stadtwerke Bochum LOUNGE, ihren neuen Paten persönlich kennen zu lernen: Christopher Antwi-Adjei, Fußballprofi des VfL Bochum, stellte sich direkt den Fragen der Schülerinnen und Schülern und gewann in Windeseile ihre Sympathie.

The children quickly lost all their shyness and learned in the exciting Q&A session, for example, how Antwi-Adjei found his way into professional soccer or how he prepares for matches. They also learned a lot about Jimmy’s eating habits, taste in music and hobbies. Conversely, the new project sponsor was also very interested in the pupils’ habits. In the end, of course, every photo request was fulfilled and the group agreed that they were already looking forward to further highlights with the new project sponsor. VfL Bochum has certainly gained a few new fans now and the children were able to gain inspiration for the rest of the FtK-ClubChallenge 2022 many exciting impulses.

In addition to Christopher Antwi-Adjei, Gizem Killic, VfL player and coach of the project, remains the sponsor of “Fußball trifft Kultur”.
