FIFA’s Anti-Discrimination Days at the 2018 FIFA World Cup kicked-off yesterday, with the national teams of Uruguay, France, Brazil and Belgium, conveying a message to the world about respect and diversity. The Anti-Discrimination Days have been in place since 2002 and consist of a special pre-match protocol during the quarterfinals or semifinals of a selected FIFA tournament every year. Later today, the captains of Sweden, England, Russia and Croatia, will also join the campaign at their respective quarterfinals.
In recent years, FIFA has been implementing a series of concrete measures aimed at fighting all forms of discrimination and promoting diversity in football. For the first time in the history of the FIFA World Cup, a dedicated anti-discrimination monitoring system has been in place for all matches. Together with the FARE Network and the Football Union of Russia, FIFA will host a panel discussion on the topic ahead of the semi-finals to present the measures adopted and the impact of the new system so far.
