International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism and Professional Football League signed the Convention of partnership against racism on March 3, 2008. Awareness raising campaign will be held in football clubs, before the matches some messages will be diffused on the giant screens and read by the speaker of the meeting. Before some sensitive matches, players and referees can wear white T-shirts with the message "Racism, never again!" (it was the case for several matches in March 2008).
