The FtK-ClubChallenge in full swing – News from our schools

Contribution from October 18, 2024

The FtK Club Challenge has been the main focus in schools in recent weeks. From T-shirt design and museum visits to children’s press conferences, the children have been involved with “their” professional football club in a variety of ways. We have collected the great impressions in this article (to be updated soon). We would like to take this opportunity to thank all participating FtK groups once again for their great commitment.

Augsburg

As part of the FtK Club Challenge, the 24 children from Bärenkeller primary and secondary school came up with questions to ask a professional footballer from their club, FC Augsburg, via video message. Due to the pandemic, midfielder Tim Civeja sent greetings to the FtK kids via video and encouraged them to learn. The boys and girls from the fifth grade also designed their diaries and presented their first works of art.

Berlin

Two highlights awaited the children of the Zurich School in Berlin-Köpenick: not only did they get to visit the venerable stadium at the Alte Försterei, but they also had the special pleasure of taking part in a children’s press conference with Union “soccer god” Grischa Prömel.

Bochum

For the boys and girls from “Fußball trifft Kultur” at the Werner von Siemens School, the dream of getting to know a real professional footballer – our project sponsor Christopher Antwi-Adjei – came true. Christopher answered the children’s curious questions at a children’s press conference. Click here for the full website report.

Brunswick

Our Braunschweig program group takes an in-depth look at its partner club as part of the FtK Club Challenge. To start with, they received a surprise package from Eintracht Braunschweig. The FtK participants are already motivated for the rest of the program.

Düsseldorf

A special highlight awaited our Düsseldorf program group on the occasion of our FtK Club Challenge. Together with our partner club Fortuna Düsseldorf, the FtK participants visited the Paul Janes Stadium. The FtK participants learned a lot of interesting facts about the history of their favorite club at Fortuna’s long-standing venue. We are excited to see how the experiences will be presented as part of the FtK Club Challenge.

Duisburg

The FtK participants from our program school in Duisburg show a few impressions of their program training and lessons. Our new Duisburg project mentor Alaa Bakir also answered the children’s questions at a children’s press conference.

Frankfurt

On 9 March 2022, the FtK participants from the Karmeliterschule and the Albert-Schweitzer-Schule waited eagerly in the Eintracht Museum for the program sponsor Muhammed Damar. The Eintracht professional took plenty of time to answer the children’s questions, signed autographs and posed for photos.
