fairplay action against discrimination at Vienna second division derby, 31.7.22

The Floridsdorfer Athletiksport-Club and First Vienna FC 1894, in cooperation with the Fairplay Initiative, have chosen the motto "Viennese second division derby against discrimination" for their upcoming championship duel and are thus sending out a signal against discrimination and for equal treatment and tolerance in sport during the top match of the ADMIRAL 2nd division.   

"Football connects people of different origins, orientations or beliefs and lives from its diversity on and off the pitch. It is important for us to use the great attention of the second division match against Vienna to set a common sign for a diverse football culture without exclusion," said FAC managing director of sport, Lukas Fischer. 

Thomas Loy, Managing Director of First Vienna FC 1894 on the joint action: "Vienna welcomes all people - regardless of their origin, religion or skin colour. This principle is an important part of our DNA and the rules of togetherness that we have defined. That's why we are pleased to be able to set this example together with FAC and Fairplay at the derby."
