Eintracht Frankfurt and Schalast start new integration project

Schalast and Eintracht Frankfurt are launching a joint integration project. It is aimed at members of Eintracht’s sports club and is unique in the club's history. The project will focus on children and young people with a migration background. The programmes, such as language courses, will be dynamically geared towards the specific needs of the sports departments and gradually expanded.

‘At Eintracht Frankfurt, we offer numerous different nations a sporting home and live integration through sport. The joint project with Schalast now allows us to support our members even further beyond sport, for example in learning the language,’ says Philipp Brower, Managing Director of Eintracht Frankfurt e.V.

Alexander Schur, Sales and Marketing Eintracht Frankfurt Fußball AG, says: ‘We are delighted to welcome Schalast as a new partner to the Eintracht family. Frankfurt is multicultural, just like Eintracht is. The fact that Schalast, a traditional Frankfurt company, is supporting us is very valuable.’

Prof Dr Christoph Schalast explains: ‘As a law firm, we have been supporting projects to promote children and young people for almost twenty years. But with Eintracht as a club sports partner, our social commitment takes on a whole new dimension. We are delighted to be able to expand the sports club's integration efforts in key areas with this pioneering project.’
