Football equality organisation Kick It Out has confirmed an alarming rise in discrimination last season, in both professional and grassroots football.
Initially established in 1993, the organisation has worked tirelessly to combat numerous issues in football, such as racism and homophobia, but these acts of discrimination still plague the game all over the world.
Kick It Out confirmed a 32% rise in reports of discrimination during the 2018/19 season, with reports of racist abuse proving to be the most frequent.
There was also a drastic rise in the number of reports of Islamophobia and antisemitism, whilst the number of reports of abuse on social media also skyrocketed last season, with a total of 581 incidents being reported.
