There are great political expectations regarding the contribution of voluntary sport clubs (VSCs), to the integration of immigrants into society. Therefore, VSCs, with their integrative potential and valuable contribution to public welfare, are increasingly trusted as implementers of integration policies within different countries. Despite programmes and policies at national and regional levels, only a comparatively small number of VSCs are directly involved in such targeted ‘integration through sport’ practices for migrants and refugees. To successfully scale-up the number of VSCs that are willing and able to implement targeted integration measures significantly, it is necessary to understand how national or regional ‘integration through sport policies` can actually reach the local level and impact practices. At the same time, a more in-depth understanding of the underlying processes within the local voluntary VSCs is urgently required. This knowledge could help to identify practical concepts and examples of good practice that guide VSCs to use their potential and become more integrative and migrant friendly.
