dbo:abstract
  • Ethnicity and football is a description of the global acceptance of association football, with players from many different races and countries participating. While football has moved around the world from its roots in England during the 18th century, the progress of non-European players has sometimes been hindered, with racism a continuing problem in many different countries. People of non-European races have sometimes not been accepted as players in European football. This has changed in recent times, due to societal change as well as campaigning on the part of the race lobby groups. UEFA and the European Union support the Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE) project which aims to stop racism. (en)
