Inclusion in sports is essential not only for promoting equity, but also for building more cohesive and resilient communities. By providing equal opportunities for all participants and creating inclusive spaces and events where everyone feels welcome, clubs, associations, and organizing bodies are helping to build a more just and compassionate world.

Promote diversity among practitioners

Since physical activity brings benefits to the health and physical and mental well-being , everyone should be able to participate in sports regardless of their age, gender, race, sexual orientation, or physical condition. Promoting diversity in sports must begin, first and foremost, with clubs and associations—which are closest to the communities—by creating a welcoming, accessible environment that is representative of society.

Ensure equal opportunities

By promoting diversity, we are ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the full range of sports and recreational activities. But for this to happen, we must first eliminate various economic, social, and cultural barriers, such as participation costs, the lack of infrastructure and accessible facilities, and discrimination based on personal characteristics (gender, race, physical condition, etc.). This is the path to promoting equity and inclusion in sports.

Valuing and celebrating diversity

One way to promote inclusion in sports is to highlight the success stories of athletes from different backgrounds and with different identities, by embracing, acknowledging, and celebrating diversity.

Promoting inclusion in sports is an ongoing commitment that benefits the entire sports community; by creating inclusive and equitable environments, sports become a vehicle for positive change.
