Football clubs and the Valencian regional government in Spain have united to combat violence in youth football through a new campaign called "Out of the Game. Enough is Enough." This initiative, supported by seven prominent clubs, aims to eliminate aggressive behavior from the stands and the pitch, fostering positive attitudes and respect among players, coaches, parents, and spectators.

José Díez, Regional Second Vice-President, highlighted that football should be viewed as a valuable educational tool, teaching essential values such as teamwork, discipline, and fair play. The participating clubs, represented by their captains, will use their influence to set an example for young supporters and aspiring players, emphasizing that the focus should be on development rather than results.

The campaign builds upon previous efforts to address violence in sports, with the goal of creating a safer, more nurturing environment for children and teenagers to enjoy the sport.
