ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
Dinamo and the Nema predaje Foundation launched the 2nd edition of the Be a true fan support fair play! campaign this season. The club and the foundation want to work together with the fans to reduce the use of pyrotechnics in the stadium and to create a safe and positive atmosphere in the stadium and through a charity character to help those who need help the most.
For this reason, for every match for which the club does not receive a penalty from CFF or UEFA for fan behavior that includes the use of pyrotechnics, racism, hate speech, Dinamo allocates financial resources. We allocate HRK 10,000 for each domestic competition match, and EUR 5,000 for each UEFA match. In this way, the club wants to show that instead of fines for pyrotechnics, the funds can be used in a much more useful way. In the first part of the season, the club allocated a total of HRK 135,000 for this campaign, and donated that amount to a foundation that opened a public call for donations.
The areas of work for which associations could apply for projects are:
– Human rights (suppression of racial discrimination, protection of the rights of the homeless, social solidarity, integration of persons with disabilities)
– Education and support for the development of children and young people (support for the education of children and young people with disabilities)
The foundation received a total of 17 applications, and after evaluating each application, the board of directors selected four associations in accordance with the criteria established in the competition.
