'United' Play In Poland
Northern Ireland team Manager, Nigel Worthington, is giving his backing to an innovative 'Unite Against Hate' campaign.
The initiative is being undertaken in the build up to the crucial World Cup Qualifier in Poland this Saturday.
Unite Against Hate is a new multi-agency campaign supported by the Irish Football Association, Gaelic Athletic Association, World United, the EU, Office of the First and Deputy First Minister, Equality Commission, Community Relations Council, Northern Ireland Office Community Safety Unit and PSNI.
The campaign will provide opportunities for ordinary people to demonstrate their opposition to the mindless minority who carry out such offences.
Nigel (pictured here) said: "I am delighted that football in Northern Ireland is taking the lead supporting the Unite Against Hate campaign.
"Football For All is all about creating a more inclusive culture throughout Northern Ireland football and unbelievable progress has been made.
"Real football fans should love football and hate bigotry," he said.
All Carling Premiership clubs are supporting the campaign with teams warming up in special Unite Against Hate T-shirts, with messages of support being read out at games and Unite Against Hate banners being hung at stadiums.
