On March 10, KMOP, in collaboration with Panerythraikos Football CLub, organized two pilot training sessions in Greece titled "Tackle Racism in Grassroots Football." These trainings aimed to address the prevalent issue of racism in football and promote resilience and character development among players. As we commemorate 𝐑𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐲, it is imperative to reaffirm our collective commitment to combat racial prejudice on and off the pitch. Football, as the world's most popular sport, has the potential to lead the way in this crucial effort.
