European football governing body UEFA continues to show its support for the Football People weeks and will help drive the campaign forward this coming week with more activities planned during a comprehensive round of UEFA club competition games to come.

Football Associations, top-tier clubs, European leagues and international players all came together during week one of this year's #FootballPeople weeks, helping back the campaign with a message of diversity and inclusion for all.

At all 48 UEFA club competition matches played during this period, including this week's UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Women’s Champions League games, players will line-up for a mixed photo and display the hashtag of UEFA’s anti-discrimination and social inclusion campaign #EqualGame.

Videos played on giant screens, announcements made over the stadium loudspeakers and child mascots wearing #FootballPeople t-shirts will also encourage those at the stadium and at home to stand up to discrimination and to embrace diversity.

UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin said: "The Fare #FootballPeople weeks are a crucial focal point of the fight against racism, discrimination and intolerance in football. Thousands of people are involved each year – and UEFA is a committed partner, using its high-profile competitions as a platform to spread key messages.

"Let’s all celebrate diversity and inclusion in the beautiful game!”
