Kick It Out to gather video evidence through app

Football fans will now be able to submit video evidence of racist abuse through the Kick It Out app.

Campaign group Kick It Out has updated its smartphone app to make it easier for users to provide evidence of racist incidents at football matches.

The first version of the app, which was launched in 2013 and facilitated the reporting of discriminatory abuse, accounted for 36 percent of reports during the 2014-15 season.

Complainants will now have the chance to provide more conclusive evidence after functionality was added for the submission of video, photo and audio files through the app.
