Frank Feldmann of the sports marketing agency “Team Feldmann GmbH + Co. KG” has supported “Spirit” since 2014. During its journey in 2014, with the help of Frank Feldmann and of the company Opel, “The Ball” visited the football clubs Bayer 04 Leverkusen, SC Freiburg, and Borussia Dortmund. In Dortmund we met the charismatic football coach Jürgen Klopp for the first time. He was interested in our project and has since become our fair play Ambassador. The first Jürgen Klopp – Fair Play-Ball duly arrived in September 2015. It was signed first by Jürgen and then by thousands of young people in school and community projects. Since May 2019 we have had a second Jürgen Klopp Fair Play-Ball and it now rolls through classrooms and sports fields in the sustainability project “Fair Play Future”.
