UEFA10 point plan

The UEFA ten-point plan - Point One

Linfield Football Club is an equal opportunities club and will not tolerate any form of sectarianism or racially offensive behaviour or chanting. As part of our on-going commitment to the IFA's "Football for All" campaign, "Kick it out" and to equality, anyone caught making racist or sectarian comments, may be arrested, prosecuted and banned from the club. If you hear any abuse of this nature, please report it to your nearest steward or call the helpline number 0800 169 9414.
