Lace Up to Keep It Up

The FA and the County FA network are delighted to be a part of the 2023 Rainbow Laces campaign, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year.
 
The campaign will take place from Saturday 25 November to Monday 11 December, and with the Stonewall-led campaign having come so far in the last decade, now it’s time to Lace Up to Keep It Up. 

The leading way to show support for LGBTQ+ inclusion in sport, since Rainbow Laces kicked off in 2013, over a million of you have laced up in support of LGBTQ+ inclusion in sport, fitness and physical activity. 

But this must-win game isn’t over yet. Large parts of the LGBTQ+ community still can’t be their true selves whilst attending or participating in sporting events. 

More than a million of us have laced up in support of LGBTQ+ equality in sport previously and this year, the aim is to #KeepItUp. Keep up raising awareness. Keep up supporting each other. Keep up pushing to make sure sport and fitness is for everyone.  
 
This year also sees a special, limited edition glittery Rainbow Lace, which you can order here.

You can find out more about the 2023 campaign via Stonewall or find assets via the 2023 activation pack below.
