‘With 1. FC Kaiserslautern, we welcome a club with a great tradition and deep roots in German football,’ explained Marcus Urban, co-founder of Diversero. ‘The fact that a club with such a rich history is flying the flag and making its support for ‘Sports Free’ clear is a powerful signal to all players, fans and stakeholders in football.’
FC Kaiserslautern will now work closely with Diversero to further spread the message of diversity and acceptance in professional sport. The support of such a prestigious club strengthens the position of ‘Sports Free’ and shows that the will to change is also firmly anchored in the traditional clubs of the Bundesliga.
This partnership marks an important milestone for ‘Sports Free’ and emphasises the growing commitment to diversity and inclusion in German football. FC Kaiserslautern is thus sending a clear signal in favour of supporting queer athletes and proving that the club is firmly behind the values of inclusion and equality.
