Players at the community-owned football club Camden and Islington United (Candi) have taken the decision to boycott a second game against Munter Hunters FC with an investigation still ongoing into their opponents.
Candi’s Sunday men’s team were due to play MHFC in the Sunday Wembley Cup but last week decided they were not willing to do so due to the team’s name, which was registered to the league as MHFC, and “horrific examples of misogyny” posted to the team’s official social media accounts. The decision has now been taken to also refuse to take part in their quarter-final encounter in the Sunday Premier Plate, with Candi holders of both competitions.
