Children's football matches in Denmark will now be held in silence - shouting and loudly cheering the players is prohibited, according to Europulse.
Experts believe that loud cheers from fans during matches distract children and prevent them from concentrating on the game and the task assigned to them, and can also cause guilt if an attack is not successful or a ball is missed. In addition, such encouragement can push young players to make the wrong decision, which can lead to a loss.
Therefore, now at football matches involving children's teams, fans, including parents of young athletes, are strongly advised to keep quiet. Emotions in the form of approval or desire to support can only be expressed with applause.
