Both Leicester City’s Men’s and Women’s First Teams will be taking part in a collective show of support for the innocent victims and their families during fixtures this Saturday, with both teams to wear black armbands and observe a minute of silence before their respective matches.
Leicester City’s Men’s First Team travel to Swansea City on Saturday afternoon at 3pm, while LCFC Women host Manchester City at King Power Stadium at 5:15pm. Such support will be reflected throughout both the English Football League and the Barclays Women’s Super League this weekend.
In addition, for the safety and well-being of everyone attending Leicester City matches, both home and away, supporters are advised of an update regarding flags allowed inside stadiums. In line with recommendations from football’s governing bodies, flags or displays representing Israel or Palestine will not be permitted inside King Power Stadium or the Swansea.com Stadium. This decision has been made to minimise the risk of flashpoints or actions that may be seen as provocative to sections of our diverse communities.
We thank our fans for their understanding and cooperation.
The EFL’s charity partner, the British Red Cross, has launched an emergency appeal to support the international response efforts aiding those in urgent need across the region. Supporters can find details of the appeal HERE.
