The Premier League has reaffirmed its commitment on the 'No Room For Racism' initiative by launching the next phase; a reminder that clubs will not tolerate any act of racism in the league with fans encouraged to report any incident and encourage behavioural change in football.

"No Room For Racism represents the long-standing commitment of the Premier League and our clubs to tackle discrimination," Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters said.

"This is not just about challenging and reporting abuse this weekend or next weekend but throughout this season, next season and beyond.

"We will not stand still on this important issue and we will continue to work with our clubs, players and partners to address all discriminatory behaviour with tangible long-term action and strong messaging to fans. Much is being done to promote inclusion and equality in English football but we recognise there is much more to do."

The footballers discuss their own experiences of discrimination, the impact it has had on them and their team-mates and how we all have a responsibility to tackle racism.

The No Room For Racism initiative has launched in March 2019 and has brought together the Premier League's work promoting equality, diversity and inclusion

“Earlier this year, players and match officials agreed to wear a No Room For Racism sleeve badge throughout the 2020/21 season to act as a constant reminder of the commitment to eradicate racism wherever it exists,” the PL reported.

“This builds on the momentum created last season when, in consultation with the players, 'Black Lives Matter' appeared on kits for all games following the restart. The League continues to support players who 'take a knee' at matches,” it added.

Tyrone Mings, Michail Antonio, Cesar Azpilicueta, Conor Coady, Ben Mee and Kalvin Phillips also feature in a video, which calls on supporters to 'Challenge it, report it, change it.'
