"I don't like Real Madrid, but i'm a Madridista tonight." Powerful words from Thierry Henry on solidarity across football 🤍

If @UEFA were serious about tackling racism, they’d expel Benfica from the competition for this tweet alone. No investigation. Just an absurd denial based on nonsense. Clearly an institution with zero accountability. No wonder its players feel empowered to make racial slurs.

Vimal Yoganathan became the first Tamil footballer to score in the EFL earlier this season. Tonight, the 19-year-old who came through the Liverpool academy returns to face the club in the FA Cup! He will add the stadium to a growing list of iconic grounds he's already played at, including Old Trafford and Wembley. 🏟️

Big FA Cup game at an iconic stadium - Anfield. Black ref, Black 4th official and an Asian player all feature. Also a Black pitchside reporter. Some won’t understand the significance. That’s progress in itself. For those working for more diversity in football. Progress.

Honoured and blessed to have been able to attend the first ever London Regional @FootieBlackList event 💪🏾 So much love in the room, online inspirations turned into real life motivations, community bonds made even stronger and legacies being etched in eternal stone 🤞🏾 #FBL2025

The joy on his face

Our youngest ever goalscorer 💫

A man who was arrested on suspicion of racially abusing Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo during the opening match of the Premier League season has been banned from every football stadium in the UK as part of his bail conditions. bbc.in/45CQNo7

30 year old Ashvir Singh Johal, the youngest manager in England’s top 5 tiers and the first Sikh to lead a pro British club, getting clapped off after Morecambe win their first league game despite him building most of the squad in the last week. 👏👏👏

Thirty minutes into the first Premier League game of the season, and Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo is racially abused by someone in the crowd. Two nights ago, Tottenham’s Mathys Tel was racially abused online. This is a stark reminder of an ugly reality: black players are facing this every week. We stand in solidarity with Antoine and can’t praise him enough for his courage in calling this out after such a distressing episode before going on to score twice. Anthony Taylor and his refereeing team also deserve credit for acting swiftly and decisively. We will keep pushing to kick this disgusting behaviour out of the game through punishments, accountability and education, but football still has a long way to go.

Last night at Anfield will stay with me forever - not because of one person's words, but because of how the entire football family stood together. To my @afcbournemouth teammates who supported me in that moment, to the @LiverpoolFC players and fans who showed their true character, to the @premierleague officials who handled it professionally - thank you. Football showed its best side when it mattered most. Scoring those two goals felt like speaking the only language that truly matters on the pitch. This is why I play - for moments like these, for my teammates, for everyone who believes in what this beautiful game can be. The overwhelming messages of support from across the football world remind me why I love this sport. We keep moving forward, together. 🙏🏾⚽ . . . . #FootballFamily #OnwardTogether #AFCB

It’s about time Premier League teams took pre-season to Africa. 🗣️ @MayowaQuadri_
