Uniting the game

Cliftonville Football Club were proud to join forces with Glentoran and our fellow Sports Direct Premiership sides to show our support for the NI Football League’s #NotInOurGame campaign during last night’s match at Solitude.

Aimed at tackling violence against women and using the power of football to drive positive change across society, the initiative comes at a time when the issue remains highly prevalent, and the League is using its platform to raise awareness, encourage conversation and promote responsibility across the football community.

During the 30th minute of last night’s game, the action was paused by referee Louise Thompson so that players, staff and supporters from both sides could join the match officials in 30 seconds of applause in honour of the 30 women who have been violently killed in Northern Ireland since 2020.

There is no place in society for violence again women. The NI Football League, Cliftonville FC and our fellow member Clubs stand together for change.
