Football v Homophobia has a reporting relationship with the equality and inclusion organisation Kick It Out.

Together, we are committed to tackling homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia, as well as all other forms of discrimination.

Read about the background to the reporting relationship here.

Reports can be submitted via FvH, and they will then be handled by Kick It Out's dedicated reporting team. Relevant authorities and clubs will process the reports.

Through FvH's networks and connections, those impacted by these incidents have the opportunity to access advice and support.

The Kick It Out team also works with Her Game Too and the Frank Soo Foundation to tackle sexism / misogyny and racism towards East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) communities, respectively.

These reporting relationships form part of Kick It Out’s five-year strategy to unite partners to make the game more welcoming for everyone.

Statistics show that anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination regularly goes unreported. At FvH, we know that discriminatory language and behaviour of this type in football environments is often dismissed or not taken seriously.

We want to empower all those who experience LGBTQ+-phobia to report with confidence, knowing the incidents will be properly investigated.
