Even during the European Football Championship, the KNVB is looking beyond performance on the field. This week, for example, a delegation attended the opening of 'Sports. Crowds. Power. Football under the Nazis' at the Haus des Deutschen Sports in Berlin. This exhibition is part of a programme designed to make lasting impact with UEFA EURO 2024.
'Sports. Crowds. Power. Football under the Nazis' shows a historical downside of football and raises the question of what we should learn from the past. Among other things, the exhibition shows how football was played in concentration camps and how the Nazis tried to use football to propagate their power. The location, where the Nazis hosted the Olympics in 1936, makes the subject especially relevant.
"It is an impressive exhibition that highlights issues such as 'participation' and 'exclusion' in times of oppression. A clear link to contemporary society is made, ensuring it is not only about the past but also about the present and the future", says Houssin Bezzai, 'Our Football Belongs To Everyone' (OVIVI) programme manager at the KNVB. Also in attendance was the Anne Frank Foundation, which works with the KNVB for OVIVI when it comes to such things as education about discriminatory chants and workshops for young football players.

The Dutch embassy organised a panel discussion the same week that included Gijs de Jong (KNVB secretary general), Heike Ullrich (DFB secretary general), Houssin Bezzai and Marcus Urban, former football player and initiator of the 'Sport Frei' coming-out campaign. Discussion topics were the fight against racism and discrimination, because everyone should feel welcome in football. The importance of the subject went without saying to all speakers.
A little earlier this sports summer, but in the run-up to the upcoming Olympics, a delegation from the KNVB attended a meeting of the Dutch embassy in Paris. There, attention was drawn to the topic of 'Being an LGBTI+ professional athlete in France, the Netherlands and Europe’. The month of June has been renamed Pride Month in many parts of the world. On Saturday, 3 August, the KNVB will again board the sports boat during the annual Pride Canal Parade.
