Fier-Play: For a more inclusive sport that respects all forms of diversity
Fier-Play is a French association that promotes inclusion, diversity, and respect in sports. We believe that sports are a universal language capable of bringing people together, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender expression, or gender identity.
Created by passionate advocates, our mission is to raise awareness, educate, and support those involved in the sports world in order to combat all forms of discrimination. We work in partnership with sports stakeholders, associations, and local authorities to promote inclusive practices and ensure a healthy and respectful environment for all.
Through our actions, we aim to transform sport into a space of solidarity and kindness, where everyone can flourish freely and fully.
Acting to promote fair play, inclusion, equity, and respect for people in sport, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender expression, or gender identity.
Our mission
Our values
Respect of diversity
Respect for diversity values differences and recognizes that each individual has their own uniqueness, whether cultural, social, religious, sexual orientation, or other. It encourages acceptance and appreciation of this multicultural richness that makes our world so unique and vibrant.
Equity
Equity emphasizes the fair distribution of opportunities and resources among all members of a society. It recognizes that everyone’s needs are unique and strives to meet them by taking their specific circumstances into account. Thus, equity does not simply treat everyone the same, but aims to give everyone what they need to succeed.
Inclusion
Inclusion promotes a society in which every person, regardless of their identity or abilities, is valued and has the opportunity to participate fully in social, economic, political, and cultural life.
It focuses on removing barriers that may prevent certain people from thriving.
Passionate volunteers
Our team is made up of passionate and committed volunteers who share a common vision: to make sport a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space for everyone. Volunteers play a central role in implementing our projects and organizing our activities in the field.
These volunteers embody the values of the association and work every day to make sport more inclusive.
Association board
The association’s office is at the heart of Fier-Play’s dynamic. It is composed of two co-presidents who combine their strengths and ideas to steer strategic actions, a treasurer who ensures the sound financial management of our projects, and a secretary general who handles administrative and organizational matters.
