Newcastle United support No Room For Racism campaign | OneFootball

All Premier League matches between 5 and 14 April will be dedicated to the campaign. During this period, clubs will celebrate diversity on and off the pitch, showing how it makes the game stronger while reinforcing that discrimination will not be tolerated in football or wider society.

Prior to kick-off on Sunday, No Room For Racism messaging will be visible around St. James' Park in a variety of forms, including a branded pre-match handshake board and ball plinth. Players will also take the knee before kick-off to demonstrate unity against racism.

Continued support of the campaign follows the Premier League’s four-year update on the No Room For Racism Action Plan, showing progress being made to increase diversity across all areas of football. It highlights the league’s ongoing commitment to tackling discrimination and supporting players and others within the game who suffer discriminatory abuse.

The Action Plan was launched in 2021, outlining a series of targets and commitments aimed at creating greater access to opportunities and career progression for Black, Asian and other minority ethnic groups in football, along with steps to eradicate racial prejudice.

The update shows progress being made across all six pillars of the Action Plan, including measures against online abuse, ongoing work within schools and communities, and improving pathways for players, coaches and others working within the game from ethnically diverse backgrounds.

No Room For Racism Action Plan four-year update

Progress continues to be made across the six pillars of the Action Plan, including:

Challenge it, report it, change it.

Fans have a role to play in creating inclusive matchday environments by reporting incidents of alleged discrimination. If discriminatory behaviour is witnessed while attending a match, please report this immediately, where possible, by contacting the nearest steward.

Alternatively, you can contact the confidential text service on 60070, with the word 'HELP' giving your location (seat, row, block, stand) and a brief description of the incident.

On non-matchdays, supporters can report incidents by email via unitedasone@nufc.co.uk.
