The Berlin Football Association takes responsibility for society with numerous campaigns and projects. Together with everyone involved on and off the pitch, we are ONE TEAM BERLIN.

A team that stands for trust, cohesion and respect. A team that is committed to a diverse and inclusive soccer culture.

Respect Charter: How we treat each other and our values at TEAM BERLIN

Anyone who participates in the Berlin Football Association's match operations and belongs to one of its member clubs automatically confirms that they recognize the applicable regulations and statutes of the BFV and higher institutions. The BFV's Respect Charter summarizes the basic principles and guidelines that define the interaction and values in Berlin amateur soccer. It defines respect, fairness and inclusion as the basis for joint cooperation and provides clear guidance for all members and participants:

Das Foto zeigt eine Gruppe von mehreren Personen auf einer hellen, ebenen Spielfläche im Freien, die mit Linien markiert ist. Jede sichtbare Person hat einen Fußball in der Nähe der Füße; mehrere Bälle liegen gleichmäßig verteilt auf dem Boden. Die Personen bewegen sich gleichzeitig in dieselbe Richtung, was auf eine gemeinsame Übung hindeutet. Im Vordergrund links steht eine Person in Alltagskleidung mit schwarzem Oberteil, Jeans und Sportschuhen. Der Blick und die Körperhaltung sind auf den Fußball am Boden ausgerichtet, ein Fuß ist leicht angehoben, als würde der Ball kontrolliert oder vorwärts bewegt. Im Hintergrund und rechts stehen weitere Personen in roter Sportkleidung mit weißen Streifen, darunter Trikots, Shorts und kniehohe Stutzen. Auch diese Personen führen jeweils einen Ball mit den Füßen. Im Hintergrund ist ein helles Gebäude mit mehreren Fenstern zu sehen, einige davon mit Gitterstäben versehen. Ein Metallzaun und niedrige grüne Büsche grenzen die Spielfläche vom Gebäude ab. An einer Wand ist der Buchstabe „D“ angebracht. Das Licht ist hell und gleichmäßig, was auf sonniges Wetter schließen lässt. Die Gesichter aller Personen sind unscharf dargestellt, sodass keine Identifizierung möglich ist. Die Szene vermittelt den Eindruck eines gemeinsamen Fußballtrainings oder einer angeleiteten Übung, bei der mehrere Personen gleichzeitig und koordiniert mit dem Ball arbeiten.

The photo shows a lively scene on a soccer pitch during a public event. The goal net of a small soccer goal can be seen in the foreground. Directly behind it is a white goal wall with a colorful logo and the clearly legible inscription "FUSSBALL GRENZENLOS". A soccer is in the air as if it had just been kicked at the goal. Behind the goal, several children and teenagers are standing on the grass. Some are watching the game, others are actively moving and look as if they are about to shoot or play themselves. The group looks diverse and colorful. In the background, you can see a large crowd of people and various tents or pavilions that suggest a sports or community festival. The atmosphere conveys energy, fun and active togetherness.

The BFV project FUSSBALL GRENZENLOS is committed to the integration of refugees in Berlin soccer.

The photo shows a large group of people lined up in a sports hall. The sports hall has a high ceiling area with many windows that let in daylight. Several basketball hoops hang on the walls. The people stand in a long row across the middle of the picture. They are predominantly wearing sportswear in different colors, including black, green, blue and white. Some are wearing jerseys, others training clothes. Several people are holding footballs or handballs in their hands. The group looks diverse: people of different heights and ages can be seen. A wooden wall, typically found in sports halls, can be seen in the background. On the left is a blue banner, the text of which is not legible in the photo. The floor is a smooth blue hall floor with colored court markings in yellow, red and black.

The photo shows a large group of people standing together on a stage in a festive-looking hall. Behind the group is a large red wall with white lettering and logos. The most prominent text reads "Future Prize of Berlin Sports". Several other logos of partners and organizations are visible, including "LSB Berlin", "rbb" and "Berliner Morgenpost". The people stand in two rows next to each other, some holding large symbolic checks, certificates or bouquets of flowers. Among the honorees is also a person in a wheelchair, who stands in the front area and also presents a large cheque. The attire of the people present is predominantly festive or business attire. The room has a prestigious appearance: high, brightly painted walls, large windows with long curtains and classic wall lamps characterize the room. The floor is partially covered with a dark stage platform on which the group stands. Overall, the image conveys the atmosphere of a festive awards ceremony where various people are honored for their achievements or projects in the field of sport.

Auf dem Foto ist eine lebhafte Szene auf einem großen Sportplatz zu sehen. Im Vordergrund spielen zwei Kinder Fußball. Eines der Kinder trägt eine helle Trainingsweste und steht direkt vor einem kleinen weißen Popup-Tor, auf dem der Schriftzug „Fussball grenzenlos“ und ein bunter Ball zu sehen sind. Das andere Kind trägt eine neongelbe Trainingsweste und läuft dynamisch auf den Ball zu, als würde es gerade einen Spielzug einleiten oder einen Schuss vorbereiten. Auf der Wiese im Hintergrund befinden sich viele weitere Kinder und Jugendliche, die an unterschiedlichen Bewegungs- und Sportangeboten teilnehmen. Einige laufen, andere spielen oder stehen in Gruppen zusammen. Entlang des Spielfeldrands sind Betreuende und Zuschauende zu erkennen. Die Atmosphäre wirkt fröhlich, offen und von viel Aktivität geprägt. Das Foto vermittelt ein buntes, inklusives Sportfest, bei dem Bewegung, gemeinsames Spielen und Begegnung im Mittelpunkt stehen.
