February marks both LGBTQ+ history month and the campaign month of \u2018Football v Homophobia\u2019 (FvH), a pivotal movement championing inclusivity in the sport.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0JD Cymru Leagues\u00a0will continue its imperative support of FvH in a stand against all forms of anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination, to ensure football truly is a game for all.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FvH campaign, which has run over the last 16 years, is an initiative delivered by Pride Sports UK that seeks to reduce discrimination related to sexual orientation, gender expression and gender identity at all levels of the game through education, resources and awareness-raising activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FvH Month of Action will begin on Saturday 1 February and the\u00a0JD Cymru Leagues\u00a0encourages all Clubs to sign up to receive the FvH resource pack, dedicate a fixture in support of FvH, whilst continuing to highlight a welcoming environment for all at their Club.

Unfortunately, homophobia, biphobia and transphobia is still present across the game. Recent\u00a0data from Kick It Out details anti-LGBTQ+ hate related to football is continuing to rise online, with reports of online transphobia increasing by 183%.\u00a0FvH Cymru will be offering Clubs across Wales opportunities to develop their education in this area throughout, and following, the Month of Action.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director of Pride Sports UK & Campaign Director of Football V Homophobia, Lou Englefield said: \u201cAs we kick off the Football v Homophobia Month of Action, we\u2019re looking for more clubs than ever in Cymru to get involved. Football in Wales has the capacity to reach into the heart of our diverse communities, call out discrimination and be a force for LGBTQ+ inclusion and belonging. Mae p\u00eal-droed yn g\u00eam i bawb!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAW EDI and Sustainability Executive, Carys Ingram added, \u201cThis month and beyond, the FAW will continue to utilise its platform to highlight LGBTQ+ challenges and barriers across the game, in addition to working toward a future where everyone, everywhere in Wales feels as though they belong in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
