Fotbal ca Infrastructură pentru Democrație (F.I.D.)

For the third consecutive year, ᴄᴀꜱᴀ ᴊᴀᴋᴀʙ ᴛᴏꜰꜰʟᴇʀ invites you to Piața Traian to a series of events open to the community, to give voice and make visible the people living in the Fabric district. It is a celebration of all residents and friends of the neighborhood and a celebration of our social and cultural diversity.

For ten days, we propose a meeting space in the form of a natural lawn, which opens up more possibilities for reimagining the public space. In this context, we challenged several associations and platforms such as the Basque Theatre, the Simultan Association, the Contrasens Cultural Association and other surprise guests, to propose and carry out various cultural activities and actions: theater, film, community meals, workshops for children, parties and others.

At the same time, the project will organize the third edition of ꜰᴏᴛʙᴀʟ ɪ̂ɴ ᴛʀᴀɪᴀɴ (October 4 - 6) – an amateur football championship between mixed, non-professional teams, made up of the neighbors of the Fabric neighborhood. Could the reigning champions be stopped from their run to win the third trophy? The answer on the ground.

So get ready for 𝓕.𝓘.𝓓𝓓! We are waiting for you!

P.S. We will return on time with announcements related to activities and the mini-championship Football in Traian.
