Exeter City FC is supporting the EFL’s Together Against Racism campaign.
At Exeter City we believe football is a game for everyone, everywhere, and we are proud of the welcoming atmosphere that you create at St James Park every match-day.
However, every season there are hundreds of reports of discrimination across the game, and likely more that go unrecorded.
Whether you’re a player, manager, watching in the stands or at home – your voice matters. Our voices are a powerful tool for change – when we speak up, come together and use our voices, we can drive change.
A man who used his voice to champion equality and inclusion in football and was the founder of anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out, Lord Ouseley, sadly passed away earlier this month. He dedicated his life to fighting racism and promoting diversity and significant strides have been made in tackling discrimination thanks to his work.
Racism will not be tolerated and we stand together to remove it from the game. Exeter City will take swift and firm action against anyone identified as making racist or discriminatory behaviour, working with the relevant authorities to ensure perpetrators face club sanctions and police action.
The EFL stands side by side with clubs, players, managers and supporters in a zero-tolerance approach to tackling racism in our game. If you witness racist or discriminatory abuse, you can report it directly to the club through Kick It Out, by alerting a steward or by confidentially emailing: safeguarding@ecfc.co.uk. You can also text ‘Help ECFC’ to 62277.
Together with the other footballing bodies, we will continue to make football a safer, more welcoming and enjoyable space for everyone. Exeter City and all of football stands Together Against Racism and all forms of discrimination.
