Any discrimination in football 'will be dealt with' says FA

Manx football supporting Rainbow Laces campaign again this year

Complaints of discrimination in local football will be dealt with accordingly.

That's the pledge from the Isle of Man Football Association as the Manx game joins an initiative to make the sport safe and inclusive for members of the LGBTQ+ community.

The Rainbow Laces campaign runs until 31 October with clubs encouraged to adapt their footwear to show support for the cause.

Equality Lead Rob Ewan says support and protection must be available to anyone associated with the game:

Anyone who thinks they've been the victim of discrimination or has witnessed an incident can report it online HERE.

People can also speak to their club's welfare officer, county welfare officer at the IoM FA or the Kick It Out campaign.
