An referee who asks parents to be respected for children to enjoy football
  • Fathers and mothers need the grade as much or more than boys and girls: they are a space to enjoy football matches between boys and to educate in values, without pressures or insults. The referee's video that approaches the stands before the children's party to remind their parents of this and ask them for respect has spread quickly.

Without respect there is no fun

“I think that you, like me, want the healthy and educational environment to prevail, that things that don’t have to be heard or seen are not heard or seen, that boys and girls can enjoy the game without pressure. Among all of us, let us take that path, with respect, so that young people can spend a good time, so that through sport the best values are collected – says the sports judge. It is impossible to have fun if there is no respect, and I will make mistakes, not always right, although I tried.”

In short, Ángel Andrés Jiménez is the one who has a colloquium with the public, being the referee in the children's encounters in Andalusia. There is also dialogue with coaches and players to make clear the most basic thing before the match.

20 meters from playing field

After all, parents, screaming, desperate or even beating, have on more than one occasion experienced unfortunate shows at football matches between children. To cope with it, for example, in the Netherlands, relatives and other spectators have to follow the meeting 20 metres from the playing field and can only encourage it. Along the same lines, the Club Deportivo Aurrera de Ondarroa and the Bronche published years ago a comic book in which they claimed the attitude of many fathers and mothers in the football fields and that boys and girls have to enjoy the sport.
