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:
