Football: Rainbow Laces campaign 2022 begins

Annual initiative working to combat LGBTQ+ discrimination

Manx football is again showing its support for an initiative to make the sport safe and inclusive for the LGBTQ+ community.

The 2022 Rainbow Laces campaign is now underway and will run until Monday, 31 October.

It sees those in the sport putting the multi-coloured laces on their footwear to raise awareness and show support for the cause.

The campaign started in 2013 and is also working to combat exclusion and discrimination of members of the LGBTQ+ community in the game.

The Isle of Man FA is making rainbow laces available to any clubs who want to support the initiative.

Laces can be requested by contacting Kate.McDowell@isleofmanfa.com

More information about the campaign itself is available HERE.
