<p>The FA have been recording cases of antidiscrimination centrally since the start
of the 2013/14 season, cases having previously been recorded by County FAs. The 2013/14
season showed 587 antidiscrimination cases in total of which 8% were in respect of
sexual orientation.</p><p> </p><p>DCMS and The FA take matters of discrimination very
seriously: any form of racism, anti-Semitism or homophobia is completely unacceptable.
Following the 2012 Downing Street summit on racism in football, The FA are now delivering
against a whole sport Inclusion and Anti-Discrimination Plan called “Football’s for
Everyone” to build equality and inclusion in football. I welcome this commitment,
and specific initiatives, such as “Football vs Homophobia”. The FA Inclusion Advisory
Board reports quarterly to DCMS on progress.</p><p> </p>
