On February 21, 2026, Peterborough United issued a formal message in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, to address and prevent homophobic behaviour at its games. The club is promoting the message “Football For Everyone, Hate For No One” to ensure all fans feel welcome at the stadium.
The campaign coincided with a match against Exeter City where players used a special rainbow-themed ball manufactured by PUMA. For every goal scored with this ball during the English Football League initiative ending March 1, 2026, a donation will be given to the Football v Homophobia charity.
Club officials have asked supporters to help keep the environment safe by reporting any abuse to stadium stewards or through the Kick It Out reporting tool. This focus on stadium discipline follows a series of banning orders given to several individuals on February 10, 2026, for property damage and other poor behaviour at previous matches.
By encouraging fans to speak up, the club aims to make the Weston Homes Stadium a friendly place for the local community and visitors alike. These efforts are intended to signal that discriminatory language will not be tolerated during matchdays or club events.
