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. 🔗 Read our Year One Impact Report: bit.ly/3TshZEc

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

Rainbow Owls has issued a statement, following a transphobic incident on Instagram involving a trans member. 🏳️‍⚧️ In-game abuse: text the club’s Stadium Control Room in real time on 07526 166907. Online abuse: report to @kickitout at [email protected] #SWFC #WAWAW
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.

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

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."
