England Stars Launch ‘show Some Respect’ Football Campaign

Harry Kane and Fran Kirby are amongst several top England football stars urging grassroots players to ‘Show Some Respect’ and think about their behaviour on and around the football pitch in a new campaign by England Football.

The campaign is part of the wider England Football ‘Respect’ initiative. The pair join Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alex Greenwood, Jordan Nobbs, Jess Carter, Raheem Sterling, Kalvin Phillips and Reece James in a series of films which see the players call on their grassroots counterparts to focus on their own game, instead of disrespecting opposition and officials.  

10 short-form videos will be released across England Football and local County FA digital channels as a personal plea to encourage players to help make the game the best it can be, and to eliminate abuse against anyone involved with the game.

The campaign is specifically targeted at 16 to 18-year-old players, in line with England Football data gathered from grassroot team representatives that rank their opponents ‘Respect scores’ after matches. This specifically ranks the oppositions’ behaviour on and around the pitch to each other, coaches, spectators, and match officials.
