Players take action against racism

Saturday 07 October 2023 17:04

Manchester United's match against Brentford on Saturday was one of 20 Premier League games in October dedicated to the No Room for Racism campaign.

Players are to take the knee before every top-flight fixture between 7 and 23 October, as they show their unity against all forms of discrimination.

United's shirts featured the No Room for Racism logo on the sleeves during the meeting with the Bees, as well as for the trip to Sheffield United in two weeks' time.

The Premier League, EFL and The FA joined with other football bodies this week in a unified approach in the fight against discrimination, sending a clear message that racism will not be tolerated at any level of the game.

Supporters are now encouraged to report any online discriminatory abuse that they see which is targeted at Premier League players, managers, coaches, match officials and their families.

This can be done directly at premierleague.com/reportracism, with each report being investigated by the Premier League’s specialist team.

October also marks Black History Month in the UK and the Premier League and its clubs will further celebrate black players and others who have made an impact in the game, showcasing how diversity makes football stronger.
