LaLiga to join the European Week of Sport

The Association of European Professional Football Leagues (EPFL) and its Members Leagues will be supporting the European Week of Sport campaign through a variety of initiatives and activities leading up to and during the week of September 7-13, 2015 as per the partnership signed by EPFL Chairman Frédéric Thiriez and the EU Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport Tibor Navracsics.

In the context of this co-operation, the European Leagues agree with the principles set out for the European Week of Sport and will support and contribute, with their communication platforms and audience reach, to the raising awareness activities and initiatives developed by the European Commission.

By leveraging the reach and popularity of the best professional leagues in the world, the EPFL will help spread the key messages and values of the campaign such as the many benefits that sport and physical activity have for individuals and society as a whole.

LaLiga is excited to be actively participating and supporting the European Week of Sport campaign. By using the hashtag #BEACTIVE on the website and social media, LaLiga will help to promote the key messages and will encourage all citizens to engage in a healthy and active lifestyle.

"Society has made us the best league of the world and the best way to make up for it is to support solidarity projects to encourage social integration and promote tolerance among groups" said Javier Tebas Medrano, President of LaLiga.
