PROMOTING GENDER

EQUALITY IN SPORTS

The PROmoting GendeR Equality in Sports (PROGRES) project aims to

promote gender equality, encourage social inclusion and equal opportunities

in the sports sector and specifically in football, by promoting gender

mainstreaming within football federations and associations.

Over the course of the project
duration, partners conducted the
Gender Equality Study, which
main objective was to shed
light on the gender inequalities
in the federations/associations
of football and other sports,
as well as the reasons behind
gender gap and its parameters.
Important output of the projects
was the development of the
Gender Mainstreaming Tool
for Sports Organisations. The
Tool aims to be used for gender
audits in sports organizations
and assesses and checks the
institutionalization of gender
equality in organizations. Second
document prepared as part of
the project was the Guide for
the Integration of the Gender
Perspective in the Management
of Sports Organisations. The
main purpose of this guide is to
provide information, concrete
tips & tricks to put into practice
a gender mainstreaming

approach to achieve equality

between women and men in

the sports sector. One of the

most important products that

will also be of much help to

other sport organizations is

the creation of the Gender

Mainstreaming Training Modules

that focuses on improving

gender equality within the

sports federations. Among other

activities partners organized

several awareness-raising

campaigns about gender

mainstreaming, targeting sports

stakeholders in particular.

As part of the promotional

activities the European

University Sports Association

(EUSA), through the EUSA

Institute, organised an insightful

workshop as part of the

Promoting Gender Equality in

Sports (PROGRES) project on

Saturday, September 24 as part

of the EUSA Convention. The

workshop gathered participants

from national university sports

federations, European sport

institutions and representatives

of the Organising Committees

that will host 20 European

universities championships

in 2023 including football

and futsal. All together 61

participants attended the event

representing 19 European

countries.

In 2022 three transnational

partners meeting took place.

In November partners met

in Oslo, Norway for the final

Transnational Project Meeting

and the Multiplier Sports Event

hosted by the Norwegian

Football Association.

The project that will finish at

the end of this year is led by

the Malta Football Association

(MLT), with the support of

partners Norwegian Football

Federation (NOR), Football

Federation of North Macedonia

(MKD), Centrul FILIA (ROU),

TREK (GRE), University of

Modena and Reggio Emilia (ITA),

and the EUSA Institute (SLO).

Co-funded by the
