The Strong Side is football’s stand against Game Day violence, harassment, and abuse — built by fans, for fans, and backed by clubs who know the beautiful game only works when everyone’s safe — whether you’re cheering from the stands, watching from the pub, or playing on the pitch.

Football is more than a game—it’s a powerful platform for driving social change. By challenging harmful norms and promoting gender equity, football clubs can transform stadiums, training grounds, and fan spaces into truly inclusive and secure environments. Partner with ESD professionals and make ESD your go-to strategy for preventing gender-based violence.
