On and off the pitch, football is a brilliant place for LGBTQ+ professionals

Taking a united approach, we are a network group that is helping to create an environment in which football is an industry of choice for, and is representative of, the LGBTQ+ community.

Do you work in the game, in a pro or semi-pro role?

Lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer / questioning, or an active ally?
