Once again, the project Open Fun Football Schools has inspired numerous kids – boys and girls alike – with two fantastic sporting events that took place in Vidin and Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria, last month.

On October 1^st, children aged between 7 and 12 took part in one of these events in the famous Bulgarian “Georgi Benkovski Stadium” in Vidin. Over 170 enthused boys and girls enjoyed the organised football tournaments on the pitch while their grateful parents came to watch them there.

Just 2 weeks later on October 15^th, Blagoevgrad as the other host town of this event, brought together another 170 kids from six different primary schools to participate in this football-dedicated event. Of course, parents didn’t miss out watching their little football enthusiasts.

After various games, goals and cheers, the young players and their parents left these events with some memorable moments and joyful experiences, thankfully expressing their gratitude to the organisers for enabling these tournaments.

It was the very first time that the Open Fun Football Schools project, in cooperation with the Bulgarian Football Union, came in Bulgaria. Thanks also to the UniCredit campaign “MAKE A KID SMILE” and UniCredit Foundation support, children had the chance to play on real pitches with qualitative equipment experiencing very special moments.
