News from PHOTO: BONGARTS Footballer migration 08 member associations 17 unitededitorial against racism! The proliferation of international transfers and, in particular, of intercontinental transfers can have the positive effect of giving supporters the opportunity to get to know something about people from another culture and perhaps also of another colour. This, combined with the development of home-grown players from minority communities, has helped to produce a multicultural mix in the world of football. In many instances this has helped to challenge prejudice and improve understanding. However, this is not always the case. Unfortunately, racist incidents still frequently rear their ugly heads in the form of banners or crowd behaviour, abuse of players and insults hurled by players on the field. UEFA has been making a determined effort to eradicate racism for a long while, through disciplinary sanctions, by initia- tives such as our ten-point plan of action, launched at the end of last year, and by offering financial support to the FARE (Football Against Racism in Europe) organisation. UEFA realises that its action against this scourge of society is only one part of the picture, which is why we are pushing for a con- certed effort on the part of all those concerned.
