In recent decades, there has been significant momentum in Denmark to include vulnerable groups in active communities, but participation in sports in Denmark is unequal, with vulnerable groups significantly underrepresented due to socio‑economic, cultural and geographic barriers.
While community‑based sports have demonstrated strong potential to improve well‑being, inclusion, education and employment outcomes, the field of inclusive sports is fragmented, underfunded and structurally marginalised across policy areas.
Without a more holistic, systemic and sustained approach that connects civil society, municipalities and national policy frameworks, the full potential of sports as an arena for social inclusion and equal life opportunities remains unrealised.
