Norwich City to support Stonewall's Rainbow Laces campaign

Stonewall is the UK’s leading charity for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT+) equality both in England and overseas and works within football to promote the acceptance of the LGBT+ community and address homophobia in football.

From today, the Club’s social media accounts will feature a rainbow-coloured crest to help promote the Stonewall campaign and a rainbow presence at Carrow Road will be highlighted on Sunday, December 8 for our Premier League fixture against Sheffield United, including a pitch flag, ball plinth, handshake board and substitutes board. Rainbow-coloured captain’s armbands and laces will also be available for players.

As part of Stonewall’s ‘TeamPride’, Coca-Cola and Aviva will also be present at Sunday’s fixture. Coca-Cola representatives will be handing out bespoke rainbow branded Coca-Cola cans with City’s, Community Partner Aviva giving away rainbow Laces to fans outside the stadium ahead of kick-off.

Norwich City is committed to making football a game for everybody and do not tolerate homophobic or discriminatory language. If you hear or see anything you consider offensive, text us on 07931235513 or email safety@canaries.co.uk and we will treat your correspondence in the strictest confidence. Your co-operation in helping to make Carrow Road a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone is greatly appreciated.
