 European Football Supporters Award 2009
Média-Pitchounes from Toulouse rewarded for their sporting spirit and their social role
According to a now well-established tradition, the ceremony of the presentation of the European Football Supporters Award took place last Sunday in the premises of the club where the prize-winning group provides its support. It was, therefore, in the magnificent Toulouse Stadium, a few moments before the TFC – Olympique Lyonnais match, that Média-Pitchounes were rewarded for their project “Tous Ensemble” (All together).
Accompanied by the mayor of the city, Pierre Cohen, Philippe Housiaux, initiator and spokesperson of the European Football Supporters Award, presented the trophy to Laurent Girard, the leader of Média-Pitchounes, while Jean-François Soucasse, General Manager of TFC received a souvenir album from the hands of Mr Cohen.
Based on the concepts of fair-play, respect, exchange and citizenship in football, the Association Média-Pitchounes was created in 2005 on the initiative of volunteers who joined forces for the realisation of social and cultural projects aimed at girls and boys from seven to twenty-five years of age. Their objective was to develop sporting values in general among the youngsters by making them aware of their behaviour both in the stadiums and in daily life.
