Why do professional football/soccer players line up before the match with children?

Before most EPL and UEFA CL matches that I watch on TV the players escort kids onto the field with them and I don’t understand why. Thanks in advance.

I’m guessing its all about Public Relations.

haha, I don’t know why either, it’s funny

Because they’re proud of their little bundles of joy! They’re so cute all dressed-up like that. Oooooh! Like mini-pros. Adorable.

They do that in hoping to to get greater attention in grassroot football and among little childrens

THE TRADITION OF CHILDREN LINING UP WITH FOOTBALL PLAYERS PRIOR TO KICK OFF IS SUPPOSEDLY A GESTURE BY THE HOME CLUB TO EXTEND AND HONOUR ITS CONNECTION TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. ALTHOUGH RECENTLY, IT HAS BEEN PUT TO SCRUTINY BECAUSE SOME CLUBS CHARGE PARENTS WHO WANT THEIR KIDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE PARADE.
