Football v Homophobia Month of Action

Football v Homophobia Month of Action

Dean Wigzell

This year we are joining clubs across the SSMFL and beyond in supporting the Football v Homophobia campaign.

Kings Langley FC is proud to be registered as a FvH Champion for the 2025/26 season.

Last 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, the campaign aims to grow this support and raise greater awareness of the damaging impact of homophobia, biphobia and transphobia in football.

In non-league, FvH is aware of various proven charges for anti-LGBTQ+ incidents in matches 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 by The FA for the grassroots game (Step 5 and below) and shows another annual rise in homophobia offences.

There are still more proven disciplinary charges for homophobia at this level than for any other type of discrimination.

Every year, FvH focuses its work in February, which is the campaign’s Month of Action.
