The International Football Festival for the Disabled is scheduled for June 2011, as an accompanying event for Euro 2012 Championship.
The main aims of the Football Festival in Poddębice include:
- promoting all kinds of football among the disabled,
- integration of the disabled with the able-bodied,
- using the Festival to promote the country, łódzkie voivodeship and Poddębice municipality,
- promoting talented disabled athletes and artists.
The event will include teams, competitors and coaches from various countries. Our city has to provide the athletes with a professional base, adapted, above all, for the disabled athletes and other participants of the Festival.
As part of EURO 2012 programme, we have joined the project of the Marshal of łódzkie voivodeship entitled “Promotion of Euro 2012 Football Championship in Łódź region”, the so-called Łódź Euro 2012. Preparations for the International Football Festival for the Disabled in Poddębice have been underway since mid 2007. We do our best to promote the Festival by organising regional and nationwide meetings, exhibitions and sport events, during which the idea of our event is presented.
