SUPPORTER CODE OF CONDUCT / REPORTING DISCRIMINATION / SAFEGUARDING

Everton Football Club has a strict, zero tolerance approach to all incidents of discrimination and disorder.

We remind supporters that all perpetrators of public order offences, which includes racist or discriminatory behaviour, pitch encroachment and the throwing of objects and/or the use of any form of pyrotechnics (including smoke grenades, smoke bombs/canisters and flares)  will receive lengthy stadium bans, potential police investigation and further possible legal sanctions.

Flags must not contain anything considered to be offensive, discriminatory, defamatory, or inflammatory, including politically motivated or nationalistic messaging. In line with Premier League guidance, supporters are advised that Israeli or Palestinian flags will not be permitted to be displayed at Premier League fixtures for the foreseeable future.  

The Club has reaffirmed its commitment to the Premier League, FA and EFL’s collective stance in tackling anti-social and criminal behaviour at football matches and is required to work with the authorities to identify any individuals who take part in unacceptable behaviour.

If you witness any form of unsavoury or anti-social behaviour, harassment or discrimination at a match, please report it.

This can be done by speaking to a Club steward, a police officer or via Everton’s dedicated confidential reporting lines. Supporters can report any incidents to the Stadium Safety Team immediately by texting HELP and details of what has been witnessed and where to 84300, or by email to reportit@evertonfc.com.

Please note that the Club has increased the age of minors needing adult supervision to 14. ALL fans under 14 should therefore be accompanied by an adult.
