Last Saturday, the first of two great end-of-year matches at the Lotto Park was dedicated to Sporting's new inclusion program, 'Tous Mauves', which aims to offer 5,000 socially vulnerable young people the opportunity to discover and develop their talents.
For the occasion, the Mauves and its partner Telenet invited representatives of the eleven partner organizations to attend the game against Genk. It ended up being an evening never to forget.
Here's their evening, told in ten photos.
Partner organization FEFA (Famille Etudes Foot Anderlecht) sold sweets at the Winterpark d'Hiver so fans could support their cause.
Every partner organization of Tous Mauve attended the sold-out game at the Park.
Zeno Debast, who was suspended, took all the time in the world to meet the youngsters.
Two invitees got the chance to present the starting line-up to the fans in the stadium.
Moments later, children from our partner organizations took the field as player escorts. Some of them even had the chance to give the unofficial kick-off.
At half-time, the kids from FEFA were given the chance to show their skills during a shoot-out in front of the home fans.
Our fans helped families in digital need by handing in old laptops for our partner organization Heartware to be restored en redistributed tho those who need them the most.
A warm evening, reflected by a subtle symbol on the players' shirts.
