Charlton Athletic is proud to support the EFL's Together Against Racism campaign.
At Charlton Athletic we believe that football is a game for everyone, everywhere, and we are proud of the welcoming atmosphere that you create at The Valley every matchday. However, every season there are hundreds of reports of discrimination across the game, and likely more that go unrecorded.
Whether you're a player, a manager, watching in the stands or at home - your voice matters. Our voices are a powerful tool for change - when we speak up, come together and use our voices we can drive change.
A man who used his voice to champion equality and inclusion in football and was the founder of anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out, Lord Ouseley, sadly passed away earlier this month. He dedicated his life to fighting racism and promoting diversity and significant strides have been made in tackling discrimination thanks to his work.
Racism will not be tolerated and we stand together to remove it from the game. Charlton Athletic will take swift and firm action against anyone identified as making racist or discriminatory behaviour, working with the relevant authorities to ensure perpetrators face club sanctions and police action.
The EFL stands side by side with clubs, players, managers and supporters in a zero-tolerance approach to tackling racism in our game. If you witness racist or discriminatory abuse, you can report it directly to the club through Kick It Out, by alerting a steward or by texting 64446.
Together with the other footballing bodies, we will continue to make football a safer, more welcoming and enjoyable space for everyone. Charlton Athletic and all of football stands Together Against Racism and all forms of discrimination.
