BSC Young Boys – Against racism, violence and discrimination

Since 2001, BSC Young Boys takes part in the FARE Action Weeks and sends out a statement against Racism, Violence and Discrimination in sports and in society.

One main project during those weeks is a yearly auction of original match-worn shirts. All proceeds are handed over to organisations that tackle discrimination in football and society. Thanks to the generosity of Young Boys supporters, who share the club’s mindset regarding racism and discrimination, a substantial amount of money is sent to those organisations.

Besides the auction, BSC Young Boys is happy to invite yearly up to 400 refugees to a home game as part of the activities during the FARE Action Weeks. The club and its players spread the word against racism and discrimination with communication campaigns across all channels.
