Respect Inclusion - Football With No Limits

UEFA EURO 2012 Respect Inclusion logo

We were delighted to announce our Respect Inclusion - Football With No Limits project ahead of UEFA EURO 2012, which was officially launched last month.

The Respect Inclusion project aims to promote good access for disabled supporters before, during and after UEFA EURO 2012. We will be working closely with our local implementing partners in each host nation to deliver the project.

These are really exciting times for CAFE and disabled supporters across Europe. You can find more information about Respect Inclusion on our devoted website, http://euro2012.cafefootball.eu, where new information will regularly be added.

 

Football With No Limits Competition

As a part of our Respect Inclusion - Football With No Limits project, CAFE have launched a European-wide competition to promote disability and access awareness amongst the football family and wider public. Competitors are invited to submit a photograph, video clip, short story, poem or song that reflects and celebrates inclusive design, accessibility and/or disability awareness.

Whether you are a football fan or not, we would be delighted to hear from you. We are looking for all kinds of ideas, so be as creative as you can! It could be something personal to you, something good that you have seen or something that you have been told about. The competition is open to everyone, and you can submit as many pieces as you like by visiting http://euro2012.cafefootball.eu/uploads.aspx.

We look forward to receiving your entries!
