A special event emphasizes gender equality and promotes female athletes in Israel.

When soccer fans chanted that an Arab-Israeli player was a “terrorist,” NIF’s Kick It Out program took action.

The NIF network is working hard to diffuse tensions between Jews and Arabs and to promote a truly shared society.

Kick it Out’s new video promoting equality, tolerance, and coexistence is rocking Israeli airwaves.

A pre-game event brought together Jewish and Arab players and fans to condemn racism both on and off the soccer field.

From a pre-game ceremony at Israel’s largest sports event, to a radio interview, NIF’s Kick It Out anti-racism project had a busy week.

Dozens of Arab and Jewish fans met before the opening match of Israel’s new soccer season to prepare anti-racism banners. The fans of Hapoel Tel Aviv and from the Arab city of Sakhnin also discussed the need for shared society and tolerance. The fans’ banners were prevalent in the stands as the players came onto the field wearing “Football for All” shirts in Arabic, Hebrew, and English. The players then kicked “Respect” balls, donated by the Union of European Football Associations, into the crowd.
