Football fans we need you! This Lesbian Visibility Week we want to (unofficially) break the World Record for the most LGBTQIA women and non-binary people having a kickabout. Taking place on 28 April, we want our timelines to be full to the brim of queer footie all over the world.
Get involved by organising a game with your local team, friends, or loved ones. Take a snap in your kit and tag us in your photos with either the hashtag #LVW24 or the Instagram handle @lesbianvisibilityweek.
The genius behind this kickabout is none other than FA consultant Liz Ward, who can’t wait for The Big Kickabout. “LGBTQIA women and non-binary people belong in sport, and we belong in football, from the Premier League to the local park,” Liz tells DIVA. “The Big Kickabout is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate our community, so grab a ball and help us set an unofficial world record for Lesbian Visibility Week 2024!”
Whether you’re a certified pro or a complete newbie, let’s show the world how much football means to the LGBTQIA community this #LVW. Join us on the 28 April wherever you are, and let’s all have a kickabout.
