“The fight against racism can never rest, especially now when worryingly hate crimes are on the rise. Football is such an important part of so many people’s lives that it is only right that we use this power o this tremendous sport to bring people together, to show that we really do have more in common than divides us,” the Chief Executive of the campaign Ged Grebby said.
