Full UEFA backing
European football's governing body has been giving its full backing to the FARE Action Week, making use of the UEFA Champions League as a high-profile platform to raise awareness of the fight to eliminate racism, discrimination and violence from the game.

Activities and initiatives
More than 1,000 activities and initiatives led by campaigning NGOs, fan groups, clubs, national associations, ethnic minorities, players' unions, youth groups and schools have been taking place in 38 European countries. In addition to the pan-European UEFA Champions League, professional domestic leagues across Europe have been actively taking part in the FARE campaign.
