“NO ROOM FOR RACISM”: PREMIER LEAGUE URGES FANS AND PLAYERS TO REPORT ALL RACISM CASES.

The Premier League today launches the next phase of its No Room For Racism initiative, sending a strong message that the League and its clubs will not tolerate racist behaviour anywhere.

Fans are being urged to challenge and report racism wherever it takes place, encouraging behavioural change in football and wider society.

Premier League players Tyrone Mings, Michail Antonio, Cesar Azpilicueta, Conor Coady, Ben Mee and Kalvin Phillips feature in a video, which calls on supporters to ‘Challenge it, report it, change it.’

As part of its long-term commitment to address racism in football and wider society, the League is also launching a series of new educational resources featuring Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Neal Maupay, Divock Origi, Hamza Choudhury, Manchester City Women’s Demi Stokes and more.

They discuss their own experiences of discrimination, the impact it has had on them and their team-mates and how we all have a responsibility to tackle racism.

These free teaching materials are designed to help stimulate discussion in classrooms and will be available to more than 18,000 primary schools in England and Wales through Premier League Primary Stars. The resources will also be made available via the Premier League Kicks and Premier League Inspires programmes.

The No Room For Racism message will be visible at all Premier League matches between 17-26 October, when activity will highlight the League and clubs’ year-round commitment to combatting discrimination and promoting equality, diversity and inclusion across all areas of football.
