🔵⚽️ IT’S MY GAME ⚽️🔵 Dublin’s Q102 and DDSL Launch Campaign to Tackle Abusive Behaviour at Kids’ Football Matches. Dublin’s Q102, in partnership with the Dublin & District Schoolboys’/Girls’ League (DDSL), proudly announces the launch of “IT’’S MY GAME” a cross-platform campaign designed to bring awareness to the issue of abusive behaviour at grassroots football matches across Dublin. In recent years, reports of abusive behaviour towards young players, referees, and coaches have surged, creating a concerning trend within the youth game. “It’s My Game” looks to tackle this by reminding adults and young people of the importance of respect and sportsmanship and of just letting the children play. The initiative seeks to create a positive, supportive environment for young athletes, coaches, referees, and spectators, fostering respect and sportsmanship on and off the field, with Dublin’s Q102 and DDSL committed to taking a proactive role in changing the culture around youth football. Q102 will support the initiative with radio ads, social media content and on-air segments aimed at bringing awareness of the issue and reminding parents, coaches and spectators of their roles in fostering a positive environment and helping to eradicate abusive behaviour in the youth game. LET KIDS BE KIDS JUST LET THEM PLAY FOOTBALL IT’S THEIR GAME

Incredible 2 weeks of sport for Q102 as headline sponsor & partner at the DDSL cup finals - over 4,000 boys and girls competing for the trophies and over 25,000 people in attendance across 2 weekends. Our partnership with the DDSL has connected us so much with the local community, we can’t wait for next season already ⚽️🔵

A few weeks ago, to celebrate Q102’s official partnership with the DDSL, we announced a competition where we would sponsor local football teams in Dublin On Monday, with hundreds of entrants in the draw, we shortlisted 12 finalists to win the new set of Q102 gear. The plan was to pick the 4 teams with the most votes, simple right? The result :122,000 VOTES IN 24 HOURS So for the sake of our poor landing page that had 85,000 unique page views in the first few hours, we decided every team deserved to be winners and that’s what we did. So, CONGRATS TO ALL 12 teams and we can’t wait to see the Q102 jerseys on the pitch next season Who’s up for another competition 👀⚽️🔵
