Fare network Executive Director Piara Powar said: “The Football People weeks is an important period for European football as it brings together all of those who watch, play or run the sport and supports inclusion and diversity across its structures while challenging intolerance and discrimination. “This is a big and growing movement, our target is to reach 100,000 people directly taking in activities.
We encourage grassroots organizations to join the campaign and get involved with their own activities. “CED is part of this movement and we are happy to rely on them to celebrate it with us.” In 2016, more than 2,000 activities were organized in Europe. Over 100,000 people directly involved. Metin Muaremi from CED said: “We are privileged to be part of this campaign which brings all kids from different nationalities together.
