Show Racism the Red Card’s Fortnight of Action takes place in Wales from 16th – 31st October, 2015
Show Racism the Red Card is the UK’s leading anti-racism educational charity. The organisation utilises the high-profile status of football and football players to help tackle racism in society. The campaign delivers educational workshops to young people and adults in their schools, workplaces and at events held in stadiums.
Tonight Cardiff City Football Club support the Fortnight of Action 15 in our fixture against Middlesbrough, both teams will be wearing anti-racism T-shirts prior to kick off to show their support for Show Racism the Red Card and its anti-racism work.
The Fortnight of Action 15 forms part of the FARE Football People action weeks and is supported by the Football Association of Wales. This year’s Fortnight of Action will see 56 clubs, featuring over 1000 players across 8 leagues all unite to challenge discrimination and celebrate the contribution we all make to football, wherever we live, whatever our connection to the game and whatever our background.
Football is a sport that is followed by all, and should be an enjoyable experience for all, whatever their background.
We hope you enjoy the game this weekend and ask you to support the player’s action before kick-off.
