ARSENAL AWARDED TOP FAIR PLAY LEAGUE.

To promote positive behaviour, the Football
Association established a Fair Play competition,
with all Premier League matches being assessed
by delegates.
Teams are assessed in five categories, with a
further category relating to the behaviour of the
public. The five categories are:
red and yellow cards
positive play (e.g. attacking intent, speeding up
the game, no timewasting)
respect towards opponents
respect towards the referee
behaviour of the team officials.
The funding for the awards is provided by the FA
Charity Committee and Arsenal will be awarded
£30,000 that can be used towards its community
or youth projects.
“As a club, Arsenal prides itself on values of fair
competition and positive behaviour both on and
off the pitch,” Arsène Wenger said. “We are
pleased to be recognised with this award and
look forward to using the funding to further
support our important work with young people
in the local community.”
