What is Kick It Out doing to make Football United? ⚽
Over the last year, we've been working towards four goals:
🤝 Everyone is included
⚽ Everyone is represented on the pitch
💼 Everyone can lead off the pitch
🫵 Everyone stands up to discrimination
One year into our Football United strategy, we've reached thousands through education, strengthened reporting routes, influenced change across the game and built new partnerships that are helping make football more welcoming for all.
We're proud of the progress we've made alongside our partners, but we know there's still more to do to make everyone feel they belong in football.

Today we honour Walter Tull and all those who gave their lives in service.
📖 Walter Tull's story continues to inspire a new generation.
To mark the end of Black History Month, we brought author Tris Koriya and three Northampton Town academy players to a local primary school to share Walter's remarkable story.
Through Tris's new children's book, pupils discovered a football pioneer who broke barriers on the pitch and in the military, and whose courage and perseverance still inspire today.
💚 The book is available to purchase now, with 100% of proceeds supporting Kick It Out.

We're appalled by reports of racist, Islamophobic and ableist abuse raised by Route One Rovers.
Discrimination has no place in football at any level, and we stand with everyone affected.
Our reporting team is aware of the incident and is working with the relevant authorities to ensure it is investigated and that those responsible are held accountable.
We encourage anyone who experiences or witnesses discrimination to report it to us at kickitout.org/report or @kickitout

Club Statement: Condemning Racial Abuse
Dan Sweeney, We Stand With You.
We are deeply shocked and appalled by the racial abuse directed at Redditch United player Dan Sweeney during our recent fixture against Kettering Town.
There is absolutely no place for racism in football, or in society. What Dan experienced is abhorrent, and as a club we stand firmly with him and with Redditch United. We will not tolerate abuse of any kind, and we are committed to ensuring that those responsible are held accountable.
These incidents which have happened in the past too are causing considerable damage to the reputation of this football club, not to mention the damage they are causing to the individuals targeted. While people stay silent, ignore, and dismiss these claims, that damage only deepens. Silence is not neutrality, it is complicity, and it is deeply harmful.
We are working with our security team and stewards, along with the relevant authorities, to identify the individual(s) responsible, and we will support any subsequent investigations in every way we can.
To Dan: you have our unwavering support. We will do everything in our power to ensure you feel safe and respected, and we stand with Redditch United in offering you our full backing.
We also urge anyone with information about this incident to come forward and contact the club. Football belongs to everyone, and we all have a role to play in eradicating discrimination from our game.
There is a further update from our director of football to follow. Please keep an eye on our website.

We stand in solidarity with Jayden Bogle for calling out this disgusting abuse. There is no excuse for this harmful behaviour.
Last season we received record reports of online discrimination and we will continue to work with governing bodies and authorities to hold offenders and social media platforms accountable. But we need your help.
If you see online racism or any type of discrimination, report it to us at kickitout.org/report or @kickitout
Leeds United Football Club are appalled at the disgusting, racist social media abuse Jayden Bogle suffered following Saturday’s Premier League victory against Tottenham Hotspur.
Leeds United condemns this behaviour in the strongest possible terms. There is no place for racism in football or society.
The club will work with the Premier League and relevant authorities to identify the individuals and push for the strongest possible action to be taken against them.
Jayden has the full and unconditional support of the club and his teammates, and we all stand with him at this time.
Nobody should ever be subjected to racist abuse.
✨ Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating!
Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful Festival of Lights.
From all of us at Kick It Out. 💚

Saturday's game coincided with the @EFL's Together Against Racism campaign.
@kickitout joined us at Bramall Lane to support the campaign and help promote awareness. 🤝
Transphobia has no place in football, and we recognise the action taken by the club at a time when Kick It Out received record reports of Anti-LGBTQ+ abuse last season.
We encourage fans to continue reporting Transphobia and all forms of abuse. Reports lead to actions, actions lead to change.
See it, hear it, report it: kickitout.org/report

ALT RAINBOW OWLS STATEMENT - RE: TRANSPHOBIC INCIDENT Last month, one of our trans Rainbow Owls members experienced transphobic abuse on Instagram from a fellow Sheffield Wednesday supporter. At the member’s request, we reported the incident to Kick It Out on their behalf. The report was then forwarded to Sheffield Wednesday FC. Following an internal investigation, Sheffield Wednesday FC confirmed the individual's connection to the club and issued them with a club ban. The individual will not be able to return to football without first attending a one-to-one education session, delivered by Kick It Out through its Fan Education Programme. These sessions aim to help fans understand the impact of discriminatory behaviour in football.
ALT RAINBOW OWLS STATEMENT - RE: TRANSPHOBIC INCIDENT We’ve seen a recent spike in homophobic and transphobic abuse towards Rainbow Owls and our members on social media, reflecting a wider problem in football. Reports of anti-LGBTQ+ abuse to Kick It Out, both online and at games, rose by a fifth in 2025/26, while football-related reports of transphobic abuse on social media doubled last season. Reporting discrimination takes strength, but it is vital in making football safer. Even when an individual report doesn’t lead to the outcome hoped for, it helps build a clearer picture of discriminatory behaviour in football and can help shape future action. We’re proud that Sheffield Wednesday FC continue to take a zero-tolerance stance towards homophobia and transphobia, as shown by their prompt, professional and robust response in this case.

Reports of misogynistic chanting received by Kick It Out rose sharply last season so we welcome clubs standing up to it.
Our research shows that more than half of women have experienced sexism or misogyny at matches, and 85% of those women don’t report it because they don’t think it will taken seriously.
If you see or hear sexism or misogyny you can report it to us at: kickitout.org/report
Kick It Out retweeted
Nottingham Forest Supporters Trust fully supports the club, Kick it Out and Notts Police in this campaign.
Misogynistic and sexist chanting has no place in our great club or our game.
Forest has a proud history of tackling discrimination and creating an inclusive environment. As a fanbase, we need to make this particular chant a thing of the past.
As Brian Clough once said: "Football belongs to everyone."
Proud to be at @dcfcofficial as part of @EFL Together Against Racism campaign alongside @SRTRC_England
