At FC Community, we believe football should be for everyone. Not as a slogan that sounds good on social media, but as the genuine foundation of everything we do. We’re working to create an environment where everyone can enjoy football and our social activities without facing discrimination, harassment, or general unpleasantness.
As members, we agree to respect the rights, dignity, and worth of every person who walks through our doors. Age, ability, gender, race, migration status, ethnicity, religious belief, sexuality, or economic background – none of it matters when it comes to how we treat each other. Fair treatment isn’t negotiable; it’s just how we operate.
This means everyone involved – players, coaches, staff, volunteers – commits to building mutual understanding and respect. It also means we’re willing to challenge discrimination when we encounter it, even when it’s uncomfortable.
We’d love to pretend that football’s barriers magically disappear once people step onto our pitch, but that’s not how the world works. Discrimination exists across society, and our community isn’t immune. Many individuals and groups still face significant barriers, and prejudice can surface anywhere – including here.
That’s why we’re committed to honest self-reflection. When challenged about our actions or words, we listen and learn rather than getting defensive. It’s about genuinely working to unlearn our own biases, not just talking about it.
