FAIR PLAY RULES

Dear Athletes,

Let me say hello on behalf of the Czech FAIR PLAY Club of the Czech Olympic Committee. Our goal is to promote sportsmanship, giving young athletes shining examples and encouraging them to appreciate exemplary acts. You, players, are here to show the best performance. Do not take advantage of the sports stadiums for violence, manifestation of hatred or even racism. You, who are here in charge of coaches, organizers and referees, contribute your part to the successful course of the tournament, not only on the sports grounds, but also in the backstage. And you, the spectators, appreciate sportingly all players and do not create devastated battlegrounds outside the sports stadiums.

Květa Pecková 

The President of the Czech FAIR PLAY Club of the Czech Olympic Committee
