The FA will continue to work to ensure that football is a game for all. To work towards a more LGBT inclusive game we will:

• Promote a positive, inclusive image and reputation for the game, its participants and supporters

• Support professional clubs and our County FA network in developing good practice around LGBT inclusion and engagement

• Continue to use the Laws of the Game to ensure that perpetrators of hate face the strongest possible consequences

• Encourage and support current and future generations of participants from all communities to join the football family, whether as players, match officials, supporters, coaches, administrators or volunteers.

• Work with LGBT communities and football stakeholders to identify and address barriers to participation and preserve player and participant welfare

These include LGBT specific stakeholders such as Football v Homophobia, Pride Sports and other stakeholders such as Kick it Out.
