As part of the “Football People Action Weeks” anti-discrimination campaign, we analyzed the representation of women in managerial positions in football in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The devastating results of this research inspired us to take action, and we gathered women from BH football (coaches, soccer referees, and players) around a common goal – strengthening female leadership in football. Our young Roma girls were with us, and the first action on the way to greater gender equality in decision-making positions in football was made possible by Fare network. 

Our goal to expand the inclusion of Roma girls in football in the territory of the neighboring municipality of Ilijaš in 2021 was made possible by the organization Schüler Helfen Leben. The German Embassy in Sarajevo and the Delegation of the European Union in Bosnia and Herzegovina donated sports equipment for our activities. Football really has no borders.
