In the 2024/25 season, more than 50 non-league and semi-professional 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 non-league game, FvH is aware of various proven charges for anti-LGBTQ+ incidents in games at this level (Steps 1 to 4) in recent seasons.

However, at the time of writing, no official data is being made public by the relevant authorities relating to such incidents, whether allegations, charges, or proven charges.

For comparison purposes, data is produced for the men’s grassroots game (Step 5 and below) and shows more proven charges for homophobia than for any other form of discrimination (The FA, 2024).

Register NOW to be an FvH Champion, and you’ll receive our Month of Action Non-League Pack 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.
