Respect Fan Culture

At UEFA EURO 2012, FSE will run Fans’ Embassy services in all eight host cities under the motto “RESPECT Fan Culture” with the aim to promote positive and peaceful fan culture and thus to contribute to a festive atmosphere at UEFA EURO 2012. It will provide travelling fans with all the necessary information, assistance and services and will also encourage interaction between local community and international fans, as well as fans and authorities.

The RESPECT Fan Culture project will focus on establishing Fans’ Embassies by fans for fans: meeting, exchange and service points in an open structure in which specific information and/or support will be provided to football fans and tournament visitors. Stationary Fans’ Embassies will be set up in each host city. There will also be 14 mobile Fans’ Embassy teams formed by professional fan workers or social workers from the participating countries which will follow the fans to their whereabouts in the cities, camp sites etc.

The production of independent fan guides are a key factor of the success of Fans’ Embassies – multilingual material providing most important practical information to the international fans and tournament visitors. The fan guides will be available as a print publication, as well as interactive online portal (www.fansembassy.org) containing all basic information in the languages of the participating teams.
