It was that time again at the weekend – another exciting and well-deserved event for all football volunteers.

Every year, the DFB awards the Volunteer Award to a total of 264 deserving volunteers per soccer district.

In addition, a total of 100 outstanding district winners will be selected to become members of the famous Club100 for one year.

Membership of the ‘Club 100’ includes, among other things, a one-year subscription to the DFB Journal and an invitation with an accompanying person to the central honouring event surrounding an international match of the German national team. The members of the ‘Club 100’ also receive a very special honour: an official award within their own club from a representative of the district or state association.

Die ehrenamtliche Arbeit ist für Amateurvereine von entscheidender Bedeutung und für ihre Existenz unverzichtbar.

For the gala that took place on Saturday in Dortmund, we at APA had the honour of setting up this event in the appropriate DFB setting and preparing it properly for the volunteers.
