FFF/Fondaction du Football: launch of the 10^th edition of the "Open Football Club" programme

The Fondaction du Football and the FFF have launched the 10^th edition of the Open Football Club, a "civic and cultural programme aimed at players from training centres and pôles Espoirs (promising young talent centres)" at a seminar held at the Centre National du Football in Clairefontaine (Yvelines, FRA) on 26 and 27/10/2023.

The seminar "brought together nearly 65 representatives from the training centres of professional clubs and the men's and women's pôles Espoirs involved in the programme, as well as the expert partners and football authorities associated with the scheme," according to the Fédération Française de Football.

The various civic and cultural themes and initiatives put in place in French football training structures were addressed through workshops, discussion sessions, presentations and the sharing of experiences. The winning films from the "Open Football Club Festival", the first edition of the artistic creation project, were screened for all of the socio-educational representatives present at the seminar.
