Düsseldorf

The new year started for the children of the Düsseldorf FtK location with a trip to the Fortuna Düsseldorf stadium. An exclusive stadium tour took place on January 29, the children had a lot of fun, were able to get a taste of the stadium and take a look behind the scenes: press area, changing rooms and, of course, the impressive stadium interior. The aim of the excursion was to discover a special place of learning, strengthen the community and gather unforgettable impressions. It was a great trip for everyone.

On December 16, a kids’ cooking course was held for the FtK kids on the school premises to round off the year. The instructor, Ms. van Leyen, showed the children simple and very tasty recipes during the cooking lessons and the children were allowed to get active themselves. At the end of the cooking course, the children ate together. It was a practical and creative change for the children just before the Christmas vacations.

On June 12, a reading took place at the Fortuna Düsseldorf stadium. The children were also able to meet project sponsor and former professional footballer Oliver Fink, ask him questions and even get his autograph. After a reading from “Football for everyone” by Knut Krüger and an exciting tour of the stadium, the children returned to school with many final impressions and Fortuna flags. A day that will certainly be remembered for a long time to come.

On January 17, the children were there live when Fortuna Düsseldorf and SV Darmstadt 98 met in the Merkur Spiel-Arena. It was an exciting match with many highlights, which ended 2:2. Pure emotion in the stands and on the pitch! It was an unforgettable experience for all soccer fans.
