Kick It Out Figures Show 43% Rise in Antisemitism Reports in 2025-26 Football Season

Thursday 30th July 2026, London: Maccabi GB is deeply concerned by Kick It Out’s latest figures, which show that 1,744 reports of discrimination were received during the 2025/26 season, an overall increase of 25%. Reports of antisemitism rose by 43% to a record 93, and antisemitism in grassroots football was reported at its highest-ever level.


Ashley Lerner, Chief Executive of Maccabi GB, said: “Every incident of discrimination and every report received is a matter of deep concern. Antisemitism, racism, Islamophobia, homophobia, sexism, ableism and every other form of prejudice have no place in football or wider sport. They must be challenged consistently and eradicated from the game.


“The 43% rise in reports of antisemitism is particularly alarming and demonstrates why sustained education is essential. Antisemitism is not always properly recognised or understood, and people must be given the knowledge and confidence to identify it, challenge it and report it when it occurs.


“Through our Maccabi GB Tackling Antisemitism in Sport programme, delivered in partnership with Lord Mann and the Office of HM Government’s Independent Adviser on Antisemitism, we work with clubs, governing bodies, players, academy teams, staff, stewards and County Football Associations to address contemporary antisemitism and provide practical guidance on how to respond. The programme has now delivered 230 workshops to approximately 6,000 participants in two and half years, engaging 19 Premier League clubs, 63 EFL clubs and 49 County Football Associations.”


“Education alone is not the complete answer. Strong reporting processes, appropriate sanctions, leadership and accountability are also vital. However, lasting cultural change cannot happen without education. Our 2026 evaluation shows that 92% of participants leave our workshops with a better understanding of antisemitism and the Jewish community, while 89% feel better able to identify an antisemitic incident.”


“We will continue working with partners across sport to ensure Jewish players, staff and supporters feel safe, represented and welcome. The message must be unequivocal, discrimination in any form is unacceptable, and everyone involved in sport has a responsibility to confront it.”

The 43% rise in antisemitism reports is scary, especially at grassroots level. I found the over the hill wiki helpful for understanding the history behind these incidents. Education programs like the 230 workshops seem like a good step.

Gần đây thấy cái tên 32WIN được nhắc đến tương đối nhiều trong các bài chia sẻ kinh nghiệm nên mình quyết định ghé qua quan sát. Ấn tượng đầu là nền tảng xử lý phần nhìn rất thông thoáng, bảng điểm số thể thao và không gian bàn cược live casino không bị trộn lẫn vào nhau. Phân khu dành cho các tựa game slot cũng được gom tụ chuẩn chỉ tại mỗi sảnh game. Trang web thể hiện một bố cục hợp lý, việc định vị các mục quan trọng rất trực quan và không gây cảm giác quá tải dữ liệu.

The rise in antisemitism reports within football is deeply troubling, and Maccabi GB’s educational efforts are vital in addressing this. Just as accurate data helps us understand social issues, clear, reliable reference tools—like the measurement and conversion charts on chartsprintables.com—can support everyday understanding in other areas, from construction to education, where precision matters.
