Football fever in Simmering: Home game for kids is now starting!

In the 11th district of Vienna, an exciting football project for the little ones will soon be launched. Under the name "Heimspiel", Wiener Wohnen, in cooperation with SOS Children's Village, is launching a project that offers young Simmeringers the opportunity to look at the round leather and be active himself. It begins on June 24th and until September 23, the soccer goals are ready every Tuesday to enable the children from 4 to 10 years of age to be happy to work.

The aim of the project is to offer the small kickers an informal football experience in the municipal buildings in Thürnlhof and Salvadore-Allende-Hof. Simmering/c-sport/im-simmeringer-gemebau-fussball-ein-heimspiel_a7400366"> Meindezirk.at reports that no prior registration is necessary. So the kids can easily appear from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., play along and demonstrate their football skills. The basic equipment elements include a mobile stadium with spectator benches and two football goals that can be set up quickly.

Support from the community

The project is strongly supported by the district head under Thomas Steinhart (SPÖ) and residential building city councilor Kathrin Gaál (SPÖ), which highlight the initiative as a valuable leisure option. Not only the fun of the game is promoted here, but also the interaction and coexistence of the children in the neighborhood are strengthened. The "home game" is also an important building block to make it easier for children to access the game, especially in times when public playgrounds are becoming increasingly rare. SOS-Kinderdorf added that the project is thus "freedom in your living environment".

education, game and rights

The right to play and leisure is anchored in the UN Convention on the Rights of Children, especially in Article 31. This article emphasizes that every child has the right to calm, leisure and age-appropriate leisure activity. These rights are not only important for the development of children, but also for their well -being and social integration. Kinderrechtskonvention.info explains that access to play areas is decisive to promote the development of children and to ensure a cultural participation.

Overall, the "home game" already shows great potential to improve the quality of life of the kids in Simmering and to arouse the joy of football. The little athletes can look forward to exciting rounds and lots of team spirit.
