Dr Serhat Yilmaz shared information about two ongoing research projects at the event focussing on human trafficking and the vulnerability of minor players.
The first project on children’s rights and football, funded by UNICEF, identifies and explores the trafficking of minors in the wider context of recruitment processes in professional football.
The second is the Sinafe project, funded by the European Commission, which investigates the issue of migratory processes in football as a major obstacle to the social inclusion of young migrant footballers in Europe.
