SRTRC Month of Action 2021

During October football clubs across Wales are showing their support for the Show Racism the Red Card Month of Action as a vehicle to deliver an Anti-Racism message to the community through the power of sport.

The Month of Action is part of a wider program funded by the Football Association of Wales and will see clubs across the country hosting Match Actions with players of both teams uniting together to stand against racism.

Show Racism the Red Card is the UK’s leading anti-racism educational charity. The organisation utilises the high-profile status of football and football players to help tackle racism in society. The campaign delivers educational workshops to young people and adults in their schools, workplaces and at events held in stadiums.

The Show Racism the Red Card action weeks forms part of the Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE) Football People Action Weeks. The Action Weeks aim to unite supporters and the football family across Wales to tackle racism in football.

The Action Weeks challenges racism and celebrates the input of all individuals that strive to make football a game for everyone, regardless of who we are, where we are from and what our beliefs are.

In addition to increasing the awareness of the campaigns work and messages, the ‘Day of Action’ will also help clubs underline and draw attention to the work that they are already doing to challenge racism and promote equality and inclusion at their Club.

Participating in football should be an enjoyable experience for all, where everyone can take part, everywhere in Wales and we are calling on the football family to support the Action Weeks and join us, alongside SRtRC, in saying NO to racism.

If you see or hear racism at any level of football, please report it to the nearest steward or Club Official. You can also report an incident at www.faw.cymru/ReportIt or by emailing ReportIT@faw.co.uk
