More than Football Award 2023

On Tuesday the 14th of November 2023 Fundacja Legii have been announced as the winner of the #Morethanfootball Award powered by Musco Lighting with their project ‘#ReadyToHelp Refugees from Ukraine‘.

The project ‘#ReadyToHelp Refugees from Ukraine‘ is a humanitarian initiative which was launched in response to the war in Ukraine and the influx of refugees into Poland, particularly Warsaw. The project’s main objectives include providing essential support to Ukrainian refugees, supplying basic necessities to those who remained in Ukraine, raising awareness about the war’s causes, and offering normalcy to displaced children and mothers.

The project also includes educational and integration activities for children and mothers, fostering a sense of belonging in the new country. The Legia Foundation has also facilitated the relocation of the Ukrainian youth rowing team and provided training for their staff.

EFDN members chose the winner during the 20th EFDN ‘Making Football Matter’ Conference in Athens, the largest gathering of CSR-experts in European football. The goal of the More than Football Award is to honour the best social initiatives in Europe delivered by a European Club, League or FA.
