Update on the Global Stand Against Racism
Dear Sir or Madam,
As part of its ongoing commitment to countering discriminatory behaviour both on and off the pitch, FIFA has developed a dedicated online toolkit for our Member Associations to combat racism in football.
Designed to support the implementation of the three-step anti-discrimination procedure and the No Racism Gesture, the toolkit contains operational guidelines for FIFA Member Associations and competition organisers. In addition, it features a number of digital assets, such as graphics for stadium screens, pre-recorded stadium announcements, LED board artwork and explainer videos.
The No Racism online toolkit can be found on the following page: https://inside.fifa.com/no- racism-gesture-toolkit.
Furthermore, today marks the unveiling of the composition of the Players’ Voice Panel. Established under Pillar 5 of the Global Stand Against Racism, the panel comprises 16 former players from the men’s and women’s games.
The panel monitors and advises on initiatives and actions taken as part of the Global Stand Against Racism and plays a key role in raising awareness of FIFA’s anti-racism and anti- discrimination measures.
For more information, please contact FIFA Senior Campaigns Managers Laura Hoyle (laura.hoyle@fifa.org) and Laure James (laure.james@fifa.org).
