GET INVOLVED

We work all year round, but FEBRUARY is the Football v Homophobia Month of Action where we ask football clubs, fan groups, leagues, and organisations at any level of the game to focus their efforts.

Football clubs can designate a game to the campaign in February and be included on the #FvH2025 Champions page and map.

 

About the Campaign

Football v Homophobia exists to challenge discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression at all levels in football. As an international initiative FvH engages in campaigning, education, advice and guidance, research, policy consultation and capacity building to:

  1. Make existing football structures safe, welcoming and inclusive for LGBTIQ+ people
  2. Create opportunities and promote engagement of LGBTIQ+ people in football at all levels and in all forms
  3. Improve the representation and visibility of LGBTIQ+ people throughout football
  4. To realise the potential of football in society as a tool to create positive change

Football v Homophobia (FvH) is a year-round initiative tackling anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination and building inclusive communities at all levels of the game, all around the world.

Every year, FvH focuses its work in February, which is the campaign’s Month of Action. We invite clubs, teams, fan groups, leagues and organisations to share the ‘Football for Everyone’ message and reaffirm their commitment to create safe and welcoming spaces in which LGBTQ+ people can thrive.
