Sunderland AFC has a zero-tolerance policy against all forms of discrimination.
Ahead of this evening’s fixture, the Club reiterates the importance of all supporters experiencing an inclusive, family-friendly environment at all SAFC fixtures home and away.
Although the vast majority of fans behave impeccably at all times, there have been numerous incidents during the 2022-23 season that are unacceptable and have resulted in ejection, stadium bans and criminal investigations.
The Club strongly condemns any supporter found to be engaging in any form of discriminatory behaviour and reminds fans that everyone attending, working or taking part in a football match has the right to feel safe, valued and included.
SAFC encourages all supporters to continue to play their part and wishes those travelling to the DW Stadium this evening a safe and enjoyable trip to Greater Manchester.
