The Gloucestershire FA saw a fantastic response to Rainbow Laces 2024.

An unprecedented number of clubs from up and down the County requested laces this year, showing greater support than ever for LGBTQ+ inclusion in our sport. Demand for laces was so high that the GFA stock quickly ran out.

Sam Myatt, Equality & Workforce Development Manager: "The take-up has been brilliant this year and reflects the inclusive nature of football in Gloucestershire. The message is loud and clear; football is a place where all are welcome, regardless of their sexuality. We would like to thank all of the coaches, players and referees who have supported the campaign - we encourage you to keep wearing your Rainbow Laces and continue to show your support!"
