emphasised in 2011/12 in the build-up to the UEFA Champions League final, with the staging of the third UEFA Grassroots Day on Wednesday 16 May 2012.<br/><br/>Approved by the UEFA Executive Committee, the event will be a celebration of grassroots football across all 53 national member associations. <br/><br/>Being aligned with the Fußball Arena München final in Germany, UEFA Grassroots Day shows that elite football cannot flourish without healthy foundations in the grassroots, leaving one of the key objectives to relay the message that football is open and accessible to all.</a> </div><div
