On February 4, the partners of the Erasmus+ supported project Match Point got together for an online working meeting, reviewing and evaluating the existing progress and setting goals for the future period.

Affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, the partners adjusted their activities, extending the period of the project to end of June this year. The remaining period will be focused on working in grassroot sport and offering educational activities.



The general objective of the project is to combat doping especially in tennis recreational environments through the establishment of a transnational network and creation of engaging, deterring and detecting educational programmes and innovative open resource online educational courses, leading to the development of an Ethical Code. The project aims to positively influence young non-professional tennis athletes’ and coaches’ culture and attitudes against doping, protecting their health and moral ethics and supporting the integrity of sports as well as its positive values and principles.

Match Point is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, coordinated by the Bulgarian Tennis Federation (BUL), partnering with the Polish Tennis Federation (POL) and Romanian Tennis Federation (ROU) as tennis governing bodies, having University of Vienna and Austrian institute for Sport Medicine (AUT) as research partners and EUSA Institute (SLO) as European Non-Governmental organisation.
