DAJE has developed a discreet and functional head protector designed to reduce the risk of head injuries in soccer. The protector is worn like a sporty headband and is made of a shock-absorbing material that effectively reduces the force of impacts by up to 60 percent. It is specially adapted for children and adolescents, with an adjustable fit and high comfort level, so it can be worn regularly during practice and games.
Through patentable solutions, sustainable materials, and a leading role in the development of future EU standards, DAJE combines safety, innovation, and long-term societal benefits.

Ice hockey, downhill skiing and cycling are just a few examples of sports where nobody questions the need for a helmet anymore. But in football, the world's biggest sport, head protection is very rare.
“We’d like to help change that norm, especially in youth soccer, where players are particularly vulnerable,” says Daniel Björkman, one of the founders of DAJE Prevent, which is developing a new type of head protection.
