Rivals on the pitch, united against racism

Swansea City and Cardiff City have once again united to deliver a strong anti-racism and anti-discrimination message ahead of this tomorrow’s south Wales derby.

The ‘Rivals on the Pitch, United against Racism’ campaign was initially created by the clubs’ respective supporter groups and has been backed by anti-racism charity Show Racism the Red Card Cymru.

The campaign provides an opportunity for supporters, players and staff from both clubs to come together to reiterate their zero-tolerance approach to racism and discrimination.

Swansea City Supporters' Trust, Swansea City Disabled Supporters' Association and the Jacks against Racism and Fascism groups have all been involved, as well as the Cardiff City Supporters' Club, Cardiff City Disabled Supporters' Association and Cardiff City Supporters' Trust.

Since the launch of the Rivals on the Pitch, United Against Racism campaign in 2020, Swansea City AFC Foundation have engaged more than 2,000 young people across the city and community in anti-discrimination and anti-racism workshops. Education is key to understanding issues around racism and creating important dialogue around how we can tackle it in our society.

The south Wales derby will kick off at 12.30pm tomorrow (March 16) and will be shown live on Sky Sports.
