GUIDE TO REPORTING DISCRIMINATION IN FOOTBALL

A lot of work has been done to challenge discrimination and harassment at all levels of football, from the grass roots through to the Premier League. Despite this, fans, ethnic minority communities and players are still discriminated against, particularly at the grass roots level where abuse is common in amateur football across parks nationwide at the weekend.

Many fans, players, clubs and leagues have adopted a policy of Zero Tolerance. One incident is an incident too many. Kick It Out operates a reporting line that can be used to make reports, ensure effective action is taken and help you raise issues of concern.

To report discrimination in any footballing environment you can freephone 0800 169 9414 or fill in the online incident report form by clicking here.
