Why Liverpool's Anfield stadium will look different this Saturday

Anfield stadium will be given a new look this weekend as Liverpool FC continue with their support of an LGBTQ+ campaign.

The stadium will be revamped with rainbow-themed LED advertising, pin badges, ball plinths, and handshake and substitute boards will also be in place in recognition of Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces Campaign.

The initiative helps to raise awareness of issues faced by LGBTQ+ fans and aims to tackle hatred and bigotry within the sport. This year’s campaign focuses on “inclusion has no off-season” and encourages everyone to play their part by holding conversations about what we can all do to support LGBTQ+ communities and make "sport everyone’s game".
