UEFA has announced that Wednesday 19th May 2010 will be UEFA Grassroots Day.

The campaign aims to celebrate and recognise grassroots football programmes and activities throughout Europe during the week leading up to the UEFA Champions League final in Madrid on 22nd May.

UEFA Grassroots Day will run in parallel with the re-launch of UEFA’s official website uefa.com.

There will also be a dedicated website to the event – www.uefagrassrootsday.com that will provide details and coverage leading up to the 19th May.

The website will also give UEFA’s 53 national associations an opportunity to showcase their grassroots work and to keep up date with the activities planned in their country or region.

Specially designed lessons, aimed at youngsters between 10 and 14 years old, on the themes of winning and losing and team work will be available online.

By becoming a registered user, schools and clubs can take advantage of the football videos and games available on the website.

There are also prizes to be won, including the UEFA Champions League table football games, computer games, and balls and coaching jackets courtesy of adidas.
