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:

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.

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.

Das Bild zeigt eine Gruppe von Kindern, die in einer Sporthalle auf dem Boden sitzen. Sie tragen überwiegend Sportkleidung, hauptsächlich Trikots in Rot und Blau, kombiniert mit schwarzen oder dunklen Sporthosen. Einige tragen farbige Leibchen, zum Beispiel ein grünes über einem roten Trikot. Die Kinder sitzen in Reihen nebeneinander, die Beine gekreuzt oder angewinkelt, und scheinen aufmerksam in eine Richtung zu schauen, als würden sie einer Ansprache oder Siegerehrung folgen. Der Boden der Halle ist hellgrün mit dunklen Linien, die Spielfeldmarkierungen darstellen. Im Hintergrund sind blaue und beige Wände sowie eine rote Sporttasche zu erkennen. Die Atmosphäre wirkt ruhig und geordnet, typisch für eine Pause oder Abschlussveranstaltung bei einem Turnier.
