Be a #SupporterofEachOther

For the good of our society, we all need to do our part to prevent the further spread of the virus but also to keep society going. Especially in times like this, we must not forget the people that need our support the most. We need to help people to get better and support people that are affected by self-isolation and other preventive measures. The time has come for us all to unite and to become a supporter of your own family, your neighbours, the people working in healthcare and the people in your community that you might not know, but who need the support of others in these challenging times.

EFDN has launched #SupporterofEachOther. The goal of this new campaign is to inspire people, players, fans, clubs, leagues, FAs and all other organisations and companies to support each other to overcome the current Covid-19 crisis. The #SupporterofEachOther campaign will communicate initiatives to stay healthy and socially active at home, and how to look after each other. The campaign informs people about the activities and initiatives taken by people, players, clubs, leagues and FAs from all around Europe. In addition to this, #SupporterofEachOther also encourages everyone to contribute to fundraising initiatives, for example, from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Foundation.

You can become a #SupporterofEachOther by organising COVID19-proof activities for your fans that provide information on how they can stay active and healthy at home and how to inspire people to look after each other in their community.

To support the campaign, please use #SupporterofEachOther (in combination with the translation of #SupporterofEachOther in your own language) on your social media channels and by sharing related content. Visuals for websites and social media can be downloaded on the campaign website.

If you would to be an official partner of the campaign, or share any additional news, photos, videos or other resources, send an email to [email protected]. The website and social media channels will be updated multiple times per day.

Let’s stay safe, healthy and be a #SupporterofEachOther!
