One Game- One Community- Kick It Out

Aldershot Town to embrace the One Game, One Community weeks of action

Aldershot Town FC are playing their part in football's biggest community engagement initiative throughout the month, as Kick it Out's 'One Game, One Community' weeks of action take place from 15-27 October.

The club will be making its own unique contribution with a day of action at the EBB Stadium for the fixture against Bury on 17th October 2009. It forms part of a nationwide campaign celebrating diversity and encouraging inclusion at all levels of football.

Aldershot Town FC joins football's biggest names; amongst them England boss Fabio Capello, who is urging fans, players and community groups to embrace the 'One Game, One Community' message: ' Football is more than a sport. It is a phenomenon with an international language all of its own.
The 'One Game, One Community' weeks of action shows all that is good about football. Our ability to work and live together and break down barriers should never be underestimated.'

The fixture is one of over 1000 events to take place across the country during the campaign. All professional clubs will hold events and activities to support the initiative, alongside schools and universities, as well as community and youth centres.

Lord Herman Ouseley, chair and founder of Kick it Out, said: 'The overarching idea behind the weeks of action is that the coming together of clubs, fans and surrounding communities provides a focused, highly visible message of anti-discrimination. But over and above this it's about helping clubs understand how crucial diversity is to our game and to maintain this mindset all year round.'

Kick it Out's One Game, One Community weeks of action take place between 15-27 October.
