Using Football as a tool, the two organizations will facilitate education, training and responsibility amongst youth and promote peace and dialogue. Peace and Sport and FC Lokomotive Leipzig will implement joint social actions within the supporter’s community and football academies of Lok Leipzig. The partnership was concluded with the support of Sponsor.Online.
As part of this cooperation agreement, FC Lokomotive Leipzig has included the logo of Peace and Sport on the brand-new jerseys of its youth teams.

Therefore, the two organizations will work together to transmit positive values to youth so they can build a better future and leave adverse influences behind. »
