Word of welcome from the UEFA-President

Youth football is of course the future of football, the football of tomorrow. But obviously it is much more than that. I support youth football because it is part and parcel of the school of life; it makes young women and young men better human beings who have more to share with others and more to give to others.

UEFA has supported ALLtogether over the years because ALLtogether ideals are UEFA’s ideals. ALLtogether football festivals are an unforgettable experience for the young players. This extraordinary event that mixes so naturally fraternity and respect will remain for those lucky ones who get to participate in it, enrichment for a lifetime.

Good luck to ALLtogether 2010 in the beautiful city of Linz!
