About the tournament
Now in its 7th edition, the „Tenis pentru Fapte Bune” tournament is a sporting competition for amateur tennis players who want to stay active and fully enjoy the chance to play a sport they love, all while their participation supports the young people leaving Romania's placement centers in their fight for a normal life.
Through sport, we want to pass on the message of the thousands of institutionalized young people in Romania, who greatly need support as they transition to living on their own.
Why sign up?
