The Dordogne-Périgord football district has just validated the existence of the adapted football and support for inclusion commission chaired by Smaïn Fekirini. Made up of 14 members, including parents of children with disabilities, this commission will work with requesting Perigord clubs.
The Adapted Football and Support for Inclusion Commission is recognized by the Dordogne Périgord football district, following the signing of the minutes, adopted at a meeting in September 2024. It can now work with Périgord clubs who will want his support and help. We invited the president of this commission, Smaïn Fekiriniin order to explain its role and its actions to us.
The missions of the adapted football commission and support for inclusion
The Adapted Foot and support for inclusion commission, chaired by Smaïn Fekiriniguest in Sport en Périgord, has set itself the objective of observing and sharing adapted para football training sessions. It will be able to propose areas for improvement in the inclusion of a young person with a mental disability within a club, when the latter requests it. It will help create links between the different sections of the club and will communicate in order to promote each club with an adapted football section. This is a first that deserves to be highlighted and welcomed.
