At a match with a daisy – campaign against aggression in stadiums

The football match should not be a battlefield, but a place where you can take your child – this motive united the organizers of the "At a match with a daisy" campaign. The campaign will take place over four days – from April 11 to 14 and will cover 8 matches with the participation of 16 teams in the 29th round of the professional football league. 

Visits to football matches are among the opportunities for children to share time with their parents, which Bulgarians cannot take advantage of due to the aggression during or in connection with football matches, Yordan Zhechev, one of the organizers of the campaign told the BNR. The goal is for the initiative to grow into a tradition. 

After several clubs supported the idea, Levski will go to their upcoming match with a daisy on their sleeves. Some of the supporters will perform a special choreography. Some of the clubs have agreed to allow children under 12 to enter the matches for free. "The goal is to stop the unnecessary aggression around football matches, because it is pointless," said Yana Lipovanska, one of the organizers.
