Football v Homophobia Month Of Action

The month of February marks the Month of Action for Football v Homophobia!

February is the month of action and is dedicated to eradicating homophobia from football at all levels and exists to challenge discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression within the game.

As an international initiative Football v Homophobia (FvH) engages in campaigning, education, advice, guidance, research, policy consultation and capacity building to:
Make existing football structures safe, welcoming and inclusive for LGBTI people.
Create opportunities and promote engagement of LGBTI people in football at all levels and in all forms.
Improve the representation and visibility of LGBTI people throughout football.
To realise the potential of football in society as a tool to create positive change.

For more information on the campaign please visit: www.footballvhomophobia.com or www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/policies/equality/football-v-homophobia  where guidelines for grassroots clubs, professional clubs and County FA’s can be found.

Derbyshire County FA also have a survey around LGBTI inclusion in football.
