This module focuses on understanding and addressing the barriers that prevent people from participating in football and physical activity. It emphasizes the importance of promoting social sustainability through inclusivity, diversity, and accessibility in sport. Participants will explore strategies to overcome challenges related to gender, age, ethnicity, economic status, disability, and more, which often hinder engagement in physical activity.

The module provides practical solutions for increasing participation at individual, community, and policy levels, including the role of football organizations in fostering inclusive environments. Key strategies include creating inclusive sports programs, raising awareness, developing accessible infrastructure, and implementing policies that promote equality, diversity, and inclusion in football. Football-related entities, such as clubs and governing bodies, play a crucial role in advocating for social inclusion and providing opportunities for marginalized groups to participate in football and physical activity
