VfL Wolfsburg, also known as ‘Die Wölfe’, is sending out a strong signal for diversity and inclusion in professional sport. As a long-standing advocate of an open and diverse sports culture, the club is now showing that queer players and fans can also count on its support by displaying its logo and making donations.
‘It is encouraging to see that VfL Wolfsburg is addressing the issue of diversity so intensively and is now actively becoming part of the ‘Sports Free’ campaign,’ explained Marcus Urban, co-founder of Diversero. ‘The support of such an important club shows how important it is that all athletes and fans can count on the solidarity of their club, regardless of their sexual orientation.’
By partnering with ‘Sports Free’, VfL Wolfsburg is sending a clear signal in favour of the acceptance and rights of queer people in sport. The collaboration underlines the club’s commitment to an inclusive sporting world and sends a powerful message to the entire football community.
This commitment marks another important milestone for ‘Sports Free’ and strengthens VfL Wolfsburg’s position as a pioneer in the promotion of diversity and inclusion. The club is once again proving that it not only takes responsibility in sport, but also in society and actively contributes to making professional sport a safer and more open space for everyone.
