Pride in Football.
Football has always been about belonging - the shared scarf, the collective groan, the strangers who become friends over ninety minutes. For LGBTQ+ fans, supporters’ groups offer all of that, with one vital addition: a space where you can show up exactly as you are.
Since 2013, fans across the country have stepped up to form LGBTQ+ groups, opening real dialogue with their clubs and pushing for better matchday experiences - from steward training to better incident reporting when things (sadly still) go wrong.
But this work goes far deeper than policy.
These groups help LGBTQ+ supporters feel safe in the stands, visible in their colours, and welcomed back into a game many once felt pushed out of.
Pride in Football brings these groups together. We share best practice, help new groups get off the ground, and represent LGBTQ+ supporters to clubs, leagues and national bodies. We work alongside allies including the FSA, Football v Homophobia and Kick It Out, because change only sticks when we build it together.
Today, Pride in Football connects more than 50 groups across England, Scotland and Wales - as well as the LGBTQ+ supporters groups for national teams in the UK.
