Presentation Summary
Between March 2012 and June 2013 Supporters Direct Europe, along with eight fans’ organisations and Cooperatives Europe, took part in a European Commission-funded project under the Preparatory Action in the Field of Sport (EAC/18/2011). The project, entitled ‘Improving Football Governance through Supporter Involvement and Community Ownership’ was in the area of good governance in sport. Overall, the project helped build capacity on the national and European levels, creating strong partners in dialogue with football governing bodies and other stakeholders.
