Compete Proud

International Transgender Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

Today, we celebrate the visibility, courage and leadership of transgender people in sport and beyond. 🌍

At Proud Champions, we believe that sport is stronger when every athlete can compete authentically, safely and with dignity. Visibility matters, because it challenges barriers, shifts perceptions and creates space for future generations to thrive. 💛

Today, we are proud to highlight our ambassador Valentina Petrillo 🇮🇹, Paralympic athlete and a powerful voice for inclusion in sport. Through her journey and advocacy, Valentina represents the importance of lived experiences, visibility and the ongoing fight for equal rights in sport. 🤝

Her presence on the Paralympic stage at Paris 2024 and in global conversations around sport and human rights reminds us that inclusion is not just a principle, it is a responsibility shared by all of us.

Through and , we continue to work alongside athletes, organisations and civil society to build sporting environments where transgender people are respected, included and empowered at every level. 🌈

Let’s keep moving forward, together, towards a sport that truly belongs to everyone.

Be visible.
Be proud.
Be champions for inclusion. 🫶
