From 6 to 9 July 2017, more than 300 fans from all over Europe and beyond met in Gent and Lokeren (Belgium) for the European Football Fans Congress 2017 of Football Supporters Europe (FSE). They were joined by representatives of the football governing bodies (UEFA, Swedish Football League, Belgian FA, etc.), as well as other stakeholders of European Football.

In addition to the traditionnal networking between fans and the Biennal General Meeting of FSE, the EFFC 2017 offered the opportunity to take part in different workshops and plenary sessions.

Please find the conclusions below:

VENUES

All venues are accessible for wheelchair users.

Accomodations will be based in Gent and a shuttle bus to Lokeren will be provided on Saturday.

There are different ways to travel.

Gent offers a wide range of accommodation.

We have negotiated with several places and reserved rooms in 2 different hotels/hostels that should suite every budget.

Participation to the European Football Fans Congress is free of charge for all participants, including lunches and dinners on Friday and Saturday.

FSE welcomes donations from participating groups and individuals in order to support the organisation of the #EFFC, either on site or via FSE website.

Costs of travel and accommodation should be covered by participants themselves. Please check ACCOMMODATION and GETTING THERE for further info.

This European Football Fans Congress (#EFFC) is organised by fans for fans. We have a budget available for the organisation of this event from our regular budget but lots of costs need to be covered, whether for speakers, technical equipment for audio-visual support, printing of programme brochures, translation, cars for shuttle busses, visa cost support etc.

This is why we would be more than happy about any donations towards the congress as a solidarity contribution that could help to re-finance the event. Whether it is 1 euro or 10 or 100 - every little helps!
