The “Street Football Move”, in Portuguese “Movimento Futebol de Rua”, arrived in Freixo de Espada à Cinta.
After being in Alfândega da Fé, last November, the AF Bragança project promoted the practice of sports, in this case football, in the south of the district, on the World Day of Physical Activity.
The activity, which took place in Jardim da Seda, involved 88 children in the 1st cycle of Basic Education.
The project is financed by UEFA, in fact it was the only Portuguese project approved by the body that manages European football and involves the 12 municipalities in the Bragança district and the School Groups.
The initiative aims to reach children aged between 5 and 15 years and encourage the practice of sports, in order to combat a sedentary lifestyle.
The “Street Football Move” was one of 42 applications, out of more than 400, approved by UEFA. It is a two-year project, has an expense co-funded by UEFA of 100 thousand euros, and aims to reach, per year, five thousand children in the district of Bragança.
