In this line, there are several projects, at international level, that present sport as a key means for the development of social inclusion. Limón et al. (2020) expose in their work three of them that were references for the DISCIPLINS project. First, the “MAIMONIDES Project. Inclusion through sport. Sport for all”, an initiative developed within the Leonardo Programme, funded by the European Community, which was developed between the University of Seville and the French football club, Montpellier Hérault Sport Club (Valderrama et al., 2015). This project aimed to empirically test the expression “Sport for all” in a specific context, the French city of Montpellier in order to conclude whether sport is an effective tool to promote social inclusion. The results derived from this project showed that sports practices aimed at preventing cases of social exclusion and treating existing ones, for reasons of social or identity origin, that originate in this city facilitate cohesion and social inclusion for a better community development of its citizens (Valderrama et al., 2015).
