RESPECT

The FAS Respect programme was launched in February 2019 to encourage a more positive environment in the local football scene.

The tagline ‘Earn It‘ conveys the idea “Respect is earned, not given“. From the players and coaches to the match officials and fans, the programme aims to educate and encourage all members of the football fraternity to treat each other with Respect through their actions and words.
