With the EGLSF campaign "Football is everything…" evenings against discrimination in football were created. The campaign is supported by FARE and UEFA and will be travelling through Europe (the Kick off was in October 2007 in Berlin supported by the German Football Federation and German Football League) and will have the same format in every city: keynote speeches; panel discussion; signing of the declaration against discrimination.
The anti-discrimination campaign will use football as a medium for sending out a unified message against all forms of discrimination. With this new campaign EGLSF has an international tool to combat and educate against all forms of discrimination especially homophobia by creating a strong public image.
The second evening against homophobia in football will be in Cologne on May 23, 2008. EGLSF in cooperation with the Come-Together-Cup will host the event. The President of the German Football Federation will be there to support this evening. The Invitation for the event did go to all professional football clubs. More info about the outcome of the evening will be available in EGLSF newsletter.
