Racism is bigger than football. And it hasn’t gone away.
Through No Room For Racism, the Premier League and its clubs work with fans, the FA, EFL, PFA, Kick It Out and the police to tackle racism on and off the pitch, promoting equality, diversity and inclusion across all areas of football.
Together we can all do more to make a positive impact.
So, if you see discrimination, challenge it, report it, change it.
