If there is ​something we can do better to support the communities ​mentioned, please let us know by reaching out to us.

I always wanted to play football, but I didn’t know it was possible for Trans people. I heard about inclusive groups, and I came all the way from Rotterdam to participate here. The whole week I am so excited to play football, and this gives me something to look forward to.
