Beyond the Stands: Racism in Football | FORTHEM

Racism in football is not confined to incidents in the stands – it is deeply rooted in both amateur and professional structures. From talent scouting to coaching and leadership positions, racial bias affects careers and opportunities in ways that often go unnoticed.

This 90-minute session in english, which combines interactive lecture with workshop elements, will look at racism in football from two angles: 

• A research-based analysis of how racism operates within the institutions of football 
• An anti-racist educational approach that highlights real-life experiences and practical strategies for change.  

Who gets selected? Who advances into leadership roles? Where do structural barriers exist and how can they be adressed? This session will provide insights and tools to help better understand and challenge racism beyond the obvious.

When ? On June 3, 2025 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. 

When and how to register ?  You can register until June 2 via this form.
