PM vows to clean up football
David Cameron has chaired a summit at Downing Street today aimed at tackling racism in football.
Representatives from the football authorities, former players and campaign groups took part in the meeting. The discussion focused on progress achieved to date, the challenges ahead and how the Government can support the football authorities and campaign groups to send a clear message that any form of discrimination will not be tolerated in the national game.
The football authorities have agreed to work together on a way forward and report back to Government before the start of the next season.
The Prime Minister said: "Football must do more to be inclusive, in order that the beautiful game is truly open to all players, managers, coaches and supporters. Today’s announcements mark a further step towards this goal. We will continue to work in partnership to confront discrimination within the sport."
Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "We’ve made significant progress over the last two decades in tackling discrimination in football and this is something we should be proud of. But we mustn’t become complacent. It would be great to see more black and ethnic minority coaches and managers working in the game and this is something we want to work on achieving with the football authorities."
Attendees expected at the meeting included representatives from the Football Association, the Premier League, the Football League, The Professional Footballers’ Association and the League Managers’ Association as well as individuals including John Barnes, Graeme Le Saux, Paul Elliott and Amal Fashanu.
Writing in The Sun today, the Prime Minister said that racism in football could not be brushed "under the carpet" and that the Government is prepared to do "anything it can to help".
