From 8 until 22 October, the #FootballPeople action weeks will be once more the platform for thousands of groups to come together to counter all forms of discrimination and celebrate diversity through and in football.

The Fare Football People action weeks brings together supporters, clubs, ethnic minorities and communities affected by discrimination across Europe to make exclusion a thing of the past.

National and international level events in a number of countries will drive the debates around inclusion and anti-discrimination in football, alongside a multitude of grassroots activities that will carry the European-wide movement. The weeks are one of the biggest social change campaigns in sport combining football's power to bring people together regardless of background and social status, gender, race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation or disability, to promote education and further social inclusion.

The two week period offers everyone the opportunity to get involved and become active to tackle racism, homophobia, sexism and other types of exclusion. In 2014, activists, football enthusiasts and community groups organised a record number of 2,000 activities in 59 countries as part of the campaign.

The Football People weeks have grown to become the biggest intervention against discrimination in sport through the support and initiative shown by people across the continent. Fare calls upon everyone who loves football and hates discrimination to get involved this year.

There are many ways how you can participate in the Football People weeks.

From Brazil, Peru and Mexico, to Canada or Tibet, and throughout Europe, #FootballPeople enthusiasts have been sharing their best photographs celebrating the Fare action weeks. Through these they have also pledged their commitment to promote football’s inclusive power and celebrate diversity and equality. We want to see you get involved too. Send us your #FootballPeople photos and be the face of the Fare campaign. Help the #FootballPeople message against discrimination reach thousands worldwide.
