A major player in "living together"

Play together, live together

Play together, live together

Football teaches us to live with others, be enriched by diversity and shape responsible citizens and accomplished athletes.  Football, as a tool of social inclusion, promotes these values: Fun, Respect, Commitment, Tolerance, and Solidarity. The FFF has developed numerous projects at all levels that embody and strengthen "living together" by relying on clubs, districts, leagues and programmes developed by the Fondaction du Football.

Our commitments

The ethical charter

The ethical charter

Since 2002, the Federation has had a National Ethics Council (CNE) and an Ethics Charter. On March 1st, 2017 law required federations to adopt a charter of ethics and deontology, and the FFF saw it as an opportunity to strengthen and modernise its text by reconciling the needs of the LFA, LFP and CNE. The charter was unanimously adopted at the Federal Assembly on December 16, 2017. Based on the values of the Federation (Pleasure, Respect, Commitment, Tolerance and Solidarity), it brings together 11 fundamental principles of football - play together, live together. The FFF plans to communicate on this charter through 11 fun videos.

Promote diversity

Promote diversity

The FFF’s commitment to diversity is based on three fundamental principles: non-discrimination, secularism and neutrality. The FFF's social and civic role consists in promoting diversity at all levels of football. This commitment is reflected in the fight against racism and discrimination, but also in access to the game for as many people as possible and the use of football as a vehicle for social inclusion.
