Reporting Discrimination

Discrimination means treating someone “less favourably” than someone else, because of a particular characteristic in line with the Equality Act 2010. Discriminatory behaviour under FA Rules means conduct or language that is aggravated by ethnic origin, colour, race, nationality, religion or belief, sex, gender, gender reassignment, sexual orientation or disability.

We are committed to delivering a game free from discrimination. While significant progress has been made in recent years, discriminatory conduct continues to be a challenge across the game. 
  
Enhanced measures are necessary to tackle this abhorrent conduct, and our updated sanction guidelines will now require Regulatory Commissions to impose a standard suspension of at least 10 matches in these circumstances.
