A statement from Football v Homophobia and on behalf of our campaign’s Football Pride community, in response to the shocking attack at Christopher Street Day Berlin. 🩷⚫️ #CSDBerlin #BerlinPride #FvH2026 #FvT2026
Following the horrifying attack at Christopher Street Day Berlin, our thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and all those affected.

Pride brings our LGBTQ+ community together with our allies across the world, not least our football clubs, teams, supporters groups and friends in Berlin and wider Germany.

We will always need spaces in which we can exist authentically, from the streets to the terraces, in parades and on pitches.

We post this statement in a spirit of absolute solidarity and in the knowledge that we must never stop fighting for equality and freedom, everywhere.
