Taking Action for a Sport Free of Discrimination: A Highlight Event Organized by Fier-Play on June 5, 2026
To mark Pride Month, Fier-Play is organizing an event dedicated to combating all forms of discrimination in sports.
Join us on June 5, 2026, at Rosa Bonheur à l’Est (Paris) for a morning of roundtable discussions and exchanges bringing together athletes, institutions, organizations, and committed partners.
Designed as a space for dialogue, visibility, and engagement, this event aims to drive concrete progress toward a sport that is more inclusive, respectful, and accessible to everyone.
An event to promote inclusion in sports
While sports are often portrayed as a universal space, they are still plagued by many forms of discrimination today: LGBTIQ+phobia, sexism, racism, ableism…
In light of these realities, Fier-Play aims to create a space for dialogue that will allow participants to:
- highlight existing forms of discrimination
- give a voice to athletes and those working on the ground
- promote initiatives already underway
- identify concrete solutions for the sports movement
This event is part of Fier-Play’s ongoing efforts to increase the visibility of LGBTIQ+ people in sports and build a network of committed athletes.
