Throughout October, the 22nd Diversity in Football Action Weeks will take place across Europe. The focus in 2021 is on solidarity and how sport can help overcome social and economic inequalities.


Soccer brings together diverse people and can overcome social inequalities - across all boundaries: social, economic, national, ethnic and gender. Soccer stands for diversity and against social exclusion!

#Solidarity!

After the Austria Wien women already stood up for soccer without exclusion last weekend during the home match against Wacker Innsbruck, the two professional men's teams will do the same in the coming days.

The Kampfmannschaft will set an example for social justice this Saturday, October 23 (17:00) against SV Ried, the Young Violets will follow suit on Saturday, October 30 (14:30) against Kapfenberg.

The activities in Austria are organized and coordinated by the fairplay initiative, in cooperation with the Austrian Football Association and the Austrian Football League.

All information on the action weeks for diversity in soccer is available at fairplay.or.at.
