LINCOLNSHIRE FA’S FOOTBALL V HOMOPHOBIA MONTH OF ACTION
In February 2023, Lincolnshire FA engaged with Football v Homophobia, including holding two LGBTQ+ Inclusion Workshops (with 30 attendees across the two), collaborated with Lincoln City FC to hold a dedicated FvH game in front of over 9,900 people, and delivered a FvH event – including a mixed gender tournament and a panel Q&A in front of over 80 people, with guest speakers Lou Englefield (Pride Sports), Billy Bingham (Astra Partners – Agent of Jake Daniels) and Graeme Smith (Foxes Pride). Lincolnshire FA also ran a social media campaign, including highlighting the prevalence of discrimination in Lincolnshire and how to report these incidents.
FA MARCH AT LONDON PRIDE 2023
On Saturday 1 July 2023, The FA joined over 30,000 individuals from hundreds of organisations in the Pride March through London. We were delighted that our full allocation of 50 places were taken - with a waiting list - by employees across the organisation, representing most FA divisions and teams.
"Part of Pride is knowing and understanding that unfortunately, not everyone is that fortunate. Pride
is about celebrating and remembering the past that got us to where we are today, while also striving for continuous progressive change and raising awareness for LGBTQ+ issues that are still prevalent globally today. It’s a party and a protest all in one!

IN PRACTICE WITH FOOTBALL V TRANSPHOBIA
The Football v Transphobia campaign and Week Of Action (24-31 March) raises awareness of trans discrimination, highlighting the positive contribution trans people are making to football and showing how everyone involved in the game can be active allies to trans and non-binary people and support their inclusion.
"At The FA, we are passionate about celebrating and supporting the diversity of our national game. Our
transgender policy has enabled many positive outcomes for people who wish to enjoy and play football
either in their affirmed gender or in a safe and inclusive environment. This important subject is complex and is constantly evolving, and as a result, like many other national governing bodies in sport, we are currently reviewing our transgender policy for English football. "
