Children from 8 foster homes played football and did sports at 5 locations once a week, for 3 months. It means that 280 children from 5 towns played football.  Locations of the home championships were chosen by the geographical proximity, which is an issue due to the fact that the foster homes had to arrange and finance their own transportation.

19. UEFA Study Group Scheme Title ― According to Kálmán Radics the president of the Faith and Sport Foundation: Our foundation agrees and identifies with the aims of the UEFA and the MLSZ. The sportpedagogic values of football (such as the ability to fight,selflessness, steadiness, personal and team building and learning to deal with success or failure)should be embraced by the individual as a sportsman. So the whole programme is especially important for the foundation, because with its help these children with no families have a better chance to become stronger and better people for their own good as much as for the benefit of the whole society. In addition to all this the Grassroots Programme not only educates but it also entertains which might be the most important for kids. The Aim of the Programme
