About Us

We are creating a safe, fun and inspiring tribune culture for children.

Who Are We?

The Children's Tribune Project in Sports is an independent social responsibility initiative founded to instil a sporting culture in children at the right age. Our goal is to create dedicated tribune sections where children can watch matches in a safe environment, thereby deepening their love of and commitment to sport.

How Did This Project Come About?

The conceptual foundation of the project was laid following extensive research into the growing incidence of violence at sporting events and the increasing distance between children and the stadium experience. The research revealed that when a safe, positive space dedicated to children is created, clubs, society and children all benefit in the long term.

Our founder, Hakan Coşkun, championed the idea that children need to learn a healthy sporting culture from an early age and pioneered the active planning and implementation of the project.
