New gay flag denial from the Norwegian Football Association (NFF)

Norwegian Brann FC wanted to mark "football for all" by using the rainbow flag as a corner flag on 16 May. But NFF refuse to let Brann to do that.

Norwegian Football Association (NFF) must soon decide. Are they against discrimination and for inclusion, or not? says Brann supporter Gjert Moldestad.

Malmö supporter Showan Shattak, which last year barely escaped death after being beaten up by neo-Nazis, was recently in Bergen and lectured on his work against homophobia in football in Malmö.

At the Swedbank Stadion in Malmö they have had rainbow flag corner flag as part of the selection against homophobia. FC Rosengård played a match of the women’s Champions League against the Russian team Ryazan with rainbow flag corner flag.
