Alongside Premier League and EFL, The FA are asking clubs across the women’s football pyramid, National Football League and grassroots game to join the ‘social media switch off’ over the weekend of 30 April - 3 May 2021.
Recognising a unified approach will deliver much greater impact and reinforce our collective fight against discrimination in all its forms.
The FA are asking clubs to stand together with English football by turning off all social media channels during this period and redirect fans to other club and FA platforms.
The boycott of course comes down to individual club choice and some clubs may wish to protest in different ways that fit with their respective approaches to the issues and existing anti-discrimination campaigns.
"As a collective, the game recognises the impressive reach and value of social media to our sport. The connectivity and access to supporters who are at the heart of the game remains vital and the value of this relationship has been demonstrated in a seismic week for us all. However, just as we have seen the game unite against the creation of a European Super League, we are calling for as many people as possible to join us on this boycott to make a united stand against online abuse" - The FA
