In the 2024/25 season, around 100 grassroots clubs and leagues in the men’s and women’s games registered to be FvH Champions.

For 2025/26, we want to grow this support and raise greater awareness of the damaging impact of homophobia, biphobia and transphobia in football. In the men’s grassroots game in England, recent data shows a 12% increase in proven disciplinary charges for discrimination linked to sexual orientation (The FA, 2024).

There are now more proven charges for homophobia in the men’s grassroots game than for any other form of discrimination. Meanwhile, reports of transphobia received by Kick It Out doubled in number last season.

Register NOW to be an FvH Champion, and you’ll receive our Month of Action Grassroots Pack, leaflets for your designated game, a Ref Stop rainbow lanyard and be added to the Champions 2026 map. Whether you want to Designate a Game to FvH or show support for the campaign in a different way, it all makes a difference.
