Bosnia and Herzegovina is still experiencing unresolved post-conflict tensions and the negative consequences of the ruthless war of the 1990s, all of which particularly affect young people and ethnic groups.
Together is OK! is a tried-and-tested project successfully implemented in 2022 and 2023 with the support of the UEFA Foundation.
Project goals
- Promote tolerance, social inclusion and gender equality among young people from post-conflict communities through football
- Empower boys and girls to use sport as a tool for personal development, dialogue and lasting peace
Project content
The project includes regular football3 matches played by mixed-gender and mixed-ethnicity teams in four towns and villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina, combined with structured social activities such as workshops, seminars and community gatherings. The programme also includes youth tournaments and continuous dialogue-based activities that strengthen cooperation, understanding and fair play. Additional activities for 2026 will include a festival in Foča.
