London FA backing Rainbow Laces

The grassroots football community will be coming together this month and next to show their support for Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces campaign.

This year’s Rainbow Laces campaign is called Lace Up and Speak Up, and focuses on opening up the conversation and talking about why football and its players, coaches, referees, spectators and fans support LGBTQ+ inclusion in sport on and off the pitch.

How can you get involved?
