/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On September 5-12, the world celebrates international
days of Fair Play. This is the 13th celebration (since 1997) within the
frames of initiative which receives direct support by FIFA President
Joseph Blatter.
RA Football Federation has today called on all football fans, including
players and umpires, to keep up the spirit of fair football matches.
"A fair play is essential to our sports and any person having his share
in the sphere. We have to consider the importance of sport spirit and
support such incentives. We call on all Armenian football fans to help
us celebrate the day with honor," said FFA President Ruben Hayrapetyan.
Attaching high value to fair play, FIFA President Joseph Blatter
stresses the importance of introducing such practice in children's
sports.
"Children need powerful values of life for their development. What
is known as fair play is not restricted to sports. The term implies
formation of positive features in a human being. Football, as a team
sport, will help children understand the importance of discipline,
respect, team spirit and last but not the least - fair play - both
on sporting ground and in life," FIFA President said.
