New Italian group fighting homophobia in/with sport

ICONS CALCIO is a gay football team with the goal of using sport to become a reference point to achieve a more mature and conscious integration between the various social realities that populate our world.

ICONS CALCIO was born in February 2010, after a meeting with the founders of the
"Justin Campaign - Football Against Homophobia" in Manchester, England. Our aim is to break down prejudices and to unite all our different human realities to say NO to homophobia in sports and to say YES to solidarity in sport.

The team consists of a group of gay and straight players, friends who, despite their obvious differences, demonstrate that in the world of sport we are all equal.
