The educational event, led by Show Racism The Red Card Campaign Coordinator Richard Offiong and Campaign Worker David McCardle, was attended by 60 students from local primary and secondary schools, including St Mary’s Field Academy, Ashby School and Castle Mead Academy.

Joined by City Under-21s player Mirsad Ali, he shared the importance of reporting any discrimination that takes place in schools and communities – and how to do so.

The students also received a stadium tour, providing an opportunity to share the work the Club are carrying out within the inclusion space, both on and off the pitch.

Our Diversity and Inclusion Lead, John Olaleye, commented on the second such event to be delivered by the Club this year.

“Led brilliantly by Richard and David, it was a fantastic opportunity to engage with young people and discuss the impact of racism, but also the importance of calling it out,” he said.

“We were proud to welcome the students and host a day of learning, open discussion and reflection. Events like this are vital in empowering the next generation to challenge discrimination and champion respect - both in football and beyond.”

If you believe that you have suffered or witnessed discrimination, racist abuse or any unacceptable behaviour in a Leicester City setting, you should raise the matter through our reporting procedures.

Report it to our text service on 60066, starting your message with the word FOXES, or via the LCFC App. Alternatively, you can report it to Kick It Out or by alerting a steward on a matchday.

We take discrimination in all its forms seriously and your support in helping us to eradicate it from King Power Stadium is vital in our mission to continue making football something that can be enjoyed by everyone.

Further details about discrimination and our reporting procedures can be found here.
