Sports fan solutions

How German β€œfan projects” are stopping young supporters being seduced by far-right groups.

Football in Germany had a big problem with violent, racist, far-right supporters. But a social innovation, organised and run by fans, has been credited with helping to change the dynamic in the stands.

β€œFan projects” attract young fans with the promise of youth clubs and cheap transport to games. We go to a game with a fan project in Dresden to see how it works.

And from the US, we hear how one woman is on a mission to make ice hockey more accessible to black women.
