Clubs across Wales are showing Racism the RED Card<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During October, football clubs across Wales are showing their support for the Show Racism the Red Card (SRtRC) Month of Action (MOA) as a vehicle to deliver an Anti-Racism message to the community through the power of sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Racism continues to be an issue across. The UK\u2019s leading anti-racism educational charity, SRtRC believes that education is key to challenging racism in society. As the Football Association of Wales\u2019 (FAW\u2019s) anti-racism educational charity SRtRC utilises the high-profile status of football and football players to help tackle racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Month of Action is part of a wider program funded by the FAW which will see clubs across the country hosting Match Actions with players of both teams uniting together to stand against racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the FAW\u2019s domestic and grassroots Clubs showing their support on and off the pitch, Cymru\u2019s FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup Play-Off against Bosnia & Herzegovenia this coming Thursday (6th<\/sup> of October) will also be dedicated to the MoA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the month of action SRtRC will be providing educational workshops to young people and adults in schools continuing their support throughout the year with FAW staff, FAW academies and the wider football family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FAW will be partaking in this year\u2019s SRtRC \u201cWear Red Day\u201d which will take place on Friday 21st<\/sup> of October. This is a day where everyone, everywhere in Wales can come together to raise money and show support for the campaign:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
