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.
The FvH Awards 2026 are coming...
The FvH Awards is a unique event and gala occasion which celebrates achievements in LGBTQ+ inclusion in football, at all levels of the game, in the UK and overseas.
Thank you to everyone who nominated for the 2026 Awards. See the shortlists here, decided by an FvH judging panel of experts.
Awards night in London on Friday 6 February is now SOLD OUT!

'Wear it Black & Pink' Day
On February 19, the International Day Against LGBTQ+phobia in Sport, we are again calling on our supporters to WEAR IT BLACK & PINK
Wherever you are in the world, show your support for the Football v Homophobia campaign on February 19 by wearing SOMETHING BLACK & SOMETHING PINK, and posting a selfie on socials with the hashtag #FvH2026
You can also share a quote of support for #FvH2026, e.g “I’m wearing black and pink for #FvH2026 because tackling homophobia is a team effort. Football for Everyone”
