Hannover | March 11th, 2024 - VfL Wolfsburg is celebrating the Diversity Match Day 2024 together with Linglong Tire for the seventh time. As part of the women's home games against RB Leipzig on Monday, March 11th, 2024 in the AOK Stadium and the men's games on Saturday, March 16th, 2024 against FC Augsburg in the Volkswagen Arena, the Wolves will wear a diversity jersey as a symbol of VfL's various social activities. Under the motto “We are Team Diversity – because it doesn’t matter where you come from,” the Green Whites want to campaign particularly against racism and right-wing extremism this year. As a visible symbol, the focus is on the diversity jerseys, on which the Volkswagen logo and the Linglong Tire logo on the sleeve will shine prominently in the colors of the rainbow at the Wolves' upcoming home game against FC Augsburg.

Marcel Schäfer, Managing Director at VfL Wolfsburg: “In football, diversity is an essential criterion for success. For us it doesn't matter where you come from or where you were born. Anyone who identifies with our goals and values and wants to play for VfL is part of the team. This principle should also apply to our society. That’s why we as VfL take a clear stance against hatred, racism and right-wing extremism.”
