To celebrate Pride month, we're highlighting the individuals, communities and initiatives that champion the LGBTQ+ community within our game.
Earlier in June, Lia Walti paid a visit to Clubs United, an LGBTQ+ inclusive, grassroots football league, created to provide a safe space for all cis, trans and gender non-conforming identities.
Lia met Hannah, Rowan, Betty and Sarah for a conversation on football and identity, the ongoing meaning of Pride, and how Clubs United has allowed them to be themselves whilst playing the game they love.
“When doors are open at the very base, it just opens those doors across the whole spectrum," said Hannah, the league's founder.
