Discrimination in sport

This study was commissioned by the King Baudouin Foundation (KBF) with the objective of studying the current state of discrimination in sport in Europe. It was conducted between July 2012 and March 2013 in 11 European countries. It was implemented by Schwery Consulting, a social enterprise working in the field of sport and corporate social responsibility with a specific focus on eastern Europe. Research looked at discrimination on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, nationality and gender. It examined the barriers preventing children and young adolescents (here, people aged between 10 and 14) from participating in organised and non-organised sports.
