Preparations for European Action Week against racism in football underway
Football’s biggest campaign to rid the game of racism and
related discriminations kicks off in one week’s time.
For the eighth successive season, the Football Against Racism
in Europe (FARE) network is co‑ordinating action against racism and discrimination in and around football stadiums across
Europe. Between 17 and 30 October 2007 large sections of the European football family in 38 countries will stand united against
racism and discrimination.
As is now customary during October, the 8th FARE Action Week will feature activities by
fan groups, football clubs, national associations, community and migrant organisations, anti‑discrimination initiatives
and schools. With the support of UEFA, FARE is providing financial assistance for 120 local activities that will take place
in the context of this extended week of action, such as the production of campaigning materials and the organisation of anti-racism
matches or special fan choreographies.
