UEFA, the Union of European Football Associations, and the governing body of football in Europe, launched a good practice guide called 'Tackling racism in club football'. It includes 2 pages on homophobia and sexism. Together with our partners from FARE Tanja Walther, the EGLSF FARE representative, worked on the inclusion of homophobia to this guide. UEFA obviously wants to keep this at a low profile: The focus is on racism. Other forms of discrimination are only mentioned. Download the guide Unite Against Racism - Tackling racism in club football (FARE and UEFA, 2006).
