Clubs will recognise football’s equality and inclusion organisation during the Spring Series through a number of activities prior to their fixture, including Friday’s match between Liverpool and Reading.
Players will don the famous Kick It Out t-shirts during their warm-up. clubs have received resources that will allow them to spread the key messages of the organisation to their fanbase and the wider community.
Two FA WSL and England stars, Toni Duggan of Manchester City and Jordan Nobbs of Arsenal, are prominent supporters of Kick It Out in their roles as ‘Next 20’ ambassadors.
Kick It Out is currently calling on the collective force of the game to ‘Call Full-Time On Hate’ as part of this season’s campaign activities.
The initiative aims to highlight the positive messages of inclusion echoed by football authorities, clubs, players, managers and supporters.
Blues And Gunners Get Going
Chelsea and Arsenal both commence their WSL 1 Spring Series fixtures on Sunday, home to Yeovil and away to Sunderland respectively.
While the Glovers lost their opening game 4-1 at home to Liverpool, Sunderland held Birmingham – SSE FA Cup semi-final winners over the Gunners – to a goalless draw. You can see the game live via BBC online.
Durham have a two-point lead at the top of the WSL 2 table ahead of the visit from London Bees for the noon kick-off. The Wildcats are streaming the game live on their fb page.
Third plays second as Millwall meet Doncaster, with the Belles better off on goal-difference only but also with two games in hand.
Aston Villa are the third side on 11 points and they go to Sheffield FC, who are looking to end a losing run.
Fifth-placed Everton are still only a win off top spot and home to Brighton, who have only won one of their six games at this level so far.
There’s a basement battle at 3pm when Oxford try for a victory at the eighth time of asking, with Watford their visitors. The Hornets claimed their first win last week, defeating Sheffield FC 2-0.
