Players at the community-owned football club Camden and Islington United (Candi) decided to boycott their Sunday Wembley Cup semi-final after being exposed to “horrific examples of misogyny” by their opponents, Munter Hunters FC.

Candi are holders of the Sunday Wembley Cup but, after reporting the issue to the London Football League and the Amateur Football Alliance, they withdrew from the competition after the league refused to postpone the game while the case was investigated. The league subsequently agreed to a postponement pending the outcome of an Amateur FA investigation.
