- Captains agree to use gesture at specific moments during season
- Those include opening and final weekend and cup finals
Premier League clubs will no longer take the knee before every match. The gesture, which started in June 2020 in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter campaign, will be used at specific moments during the forthcoming season to “amplify the message that racism has no place in football or society”.
Premier League captains agreed to do it on the opening round of the season this weekend, dedicated No Room for Racism match rounds in October and March, Boxing Day fixtures after the conclusion of the World Cup in Qatar, Premier League matches on the final day of the season and the FA Cup and EFL Cup finals.
