The Just Play school and community sports programme, along with its associated international initiative, Football for Schools (F4S), is to be introduced in Bulgarian schools. An agreement to this effect was signed today by the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, and the Bulgarian Football Union.


The programme was developed by the International Football Federation (FIFA) in partnership with UNESCO. It promotes the long-term physical, social and personal development of children through interactive football sessions and educational activities. It is intended for children aged 4 to 14, including those with special educational needs and chronic illnesses.


The programme's main focus is building life skills, promoting an active and healthy lifestyle, and developing social and personal competencies in a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment.
