The anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster is a poignant occasion for all associated with Manchester United, including everyone involved in our Foundation.
The Foundation was founded as a legacy to the trailblazing spirit of the Busby Babes, and the club’s time-honoured tradition of supporting and nurturing the talents of young people. Therefore, its staff always ensure that participants understand the importance of the tragedy in February 1958.
As such, a group of young people from the Foundation’s Street Reds community football projects – four girls and four boys – are travelling to Munich today (Monday 5 February) to join club representatives and supporters in commemorating the 66th anniversary of the air disaster.
