EU and Euregio Egrensis will support in 2021 two DTFS projects. The project “Restart im deutsch-tschechischen Jugendfußball / Restart v česko-německém mládežnickém fotbale” will help during the restart in youth football after the pandemic and bring together youth football teams from both countries at games and camps. The project will invite both boys and girls. The project “1+1 = 3 – deutsch-tschechische Fußballcamps für Jungs / 1+1 = 3 – česko-německá fotbalová soustředění pro chlapce” will see DTFS working together with SpVgg Bayreuth and Slavia Karlovy Vary to develop a club cooperation and joint training camps. The projects are funded by Euregio Egrensis and European Union from the European fund for regional development (Ziel ETZ Freistaat Bayern – Tschechische Republik 2014-2020 (INTERREG V).

Despite the pandemic German and Czech children were also participating in the school competition “1:0 für Deutsch” in 2020. The project brings football and language learning together. In this year the competition started with a video contest where all children showed a very high commitment. Watch our short film with all the videos of the kids. We would like to say thank you to all children for their great work and Czech-German Future Fund, Goethe Institute Prague and Hertha BSC for their continuous support.

The Czech-German Future Fund will support the project “Team Europa – entdecke das Nachbarland! / Tým Evropa – objev sousední zemi!” in the year 2021. We will organise a Czech-German youth camp in the project for 30 participants. The camp will focus on education and football. Furthermore, we plan to host a workshop on “Good practice and innovation in youth football and education”, once the pandemic is over. The workshop will welcome both, youth coaches and teachers.

We would like to say thank you to all our partners and sponsors for their continuous support, particularly in these special times.
