In a Nationwide survey, almost two-thirds (63%) of people said footballers should set an example by showing respect.
Through The Football Association Respect programme, the Scottish Football Association Positive Play campaign, the Football Association of Wales Fair Play initiative and the Irish Football Association Back in the Game campaign, we hope to inspire respect.
As partners of The Football Association, we’ve pledged to help raise awareness of the Respect campaign among players, parents and coaches through our work with 100,000 under-18 grassroots football clubs in England. Using clear codes of conduct, the campaign aims to help parents and coaches play a part in making football fun, safe and positive. Let’s make football a place of mutual respect.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first official match of England Women, we’re celebrating the brilliant achievements of our England Women's Team.
We're shining a light on some of the incredible captains who led the team with mutual respect over the years by unveiling plaques in their hometowns. These are the places where they played grassroots football and marks where greatness was made.
