Respect United
Belgian football welcomes a new club: Respect United!
Respect United stands for respect for all. Belgian football wants to use this campaign to inspire society. Respect United comprises 11 ambassadors for a varied representation of football, eleven people who contribute to respect for diversity in society as a whole through football. They do so with a charter comprising eleven rules.
| Michel Lecompte | We are all different, every person is unique. |
| Karim Belhocine | There is not one person who is more valuable than another, everyone deserves the same level of respect. |
| Femke Maes | We see diversity as an added value, as an opportunity. |
| Dimitri M'Buyu | As a club we support trainers and other members of staff to put this vision into practice. |
| Ludwig Sneyers | In football what’s important is what the team achieves, rather than the sum of the individual players. |
| Georges Leekens | As trainers we are committed to encouraging everyone to achieve their maximum potential. |
| Jérôme Efong Nzolo | As referees we use the resources available to us to enforce respect. |
| Gunther Van Handenhoven | As supporters and parents we treat each player with respect and encourage him/her in a positive manner. |
| Anele Ngongca | Every player has the right to a training schedule that is appropriate to his/her age, individual tempo and ability. |
| Björn Vleminckx | We are committed to respond to any form or expression of discrimination. |
| Steven Martens | With the entire football community we strive to be a role model for the positive management of diversity in society. |
