Not In Our Game

Cliftonville Football Club are proud to support the NI Football League’s new awareness campaign, #NotInOurGame, aimed at tackling violence against women and using the power of football to drive positive change across society.

Bringing together Clubs, players and supporters from across the League with one clear and unified message: There is no place for violence against women.

As part of the campaign, players and Clubs will stand together in solidarity, using a simple but powerful visual gesture – a single hand raised with palm facing forward – symbolising a collective call for an end to violence against women.

The initiative comes at a time when the issue remains highly prevalent in Northern Ireland. With 30 women having been violently killed since 2020, the League is using its platform to raise awareness, encourage conversation and promote responsibility across the football community.

Throughout the week, NIFL and its member Clubs will deliver a coordinated programme of activity across digital and matchday platforms. This will include strong campaign messaging, player-led content and contributions from Clubs, reinforcing a League-wide stance on the issue.

Supporters will also be encouraged to play their part by engaging with the campaign online, sharing messages of support and standing alongside their clubs using #NotInOurGame.

To reiterate, there is no place in society for violence again women. The NI Football League and its member Clubs stand together for change.
