Six supporters’ groups saw bespoke flags unveiled at Villa Park as part of the club’s ongoing work with the Fans for Diversity campaign.
Flags bearing the name and logos of Villa & Proud, Villans Together, Villa Bellas, Saathi Villans, Punjabi Villans and AVDSA (Aston Villa Disability Supporter Association) were displayed for the first time at the club’s Europa Conference League game against Legia Warszawa in November.
The permanent housing of the flags at Villa Park is the latest step in the club’s relationship with our supporters’ groups, helping to ensure Aston Villa is inclusive to all.
Watch the video below to hear from members of the respective groups about the significance of the flag unveiling...
The flags were designed and produced in partnership with Fans for Diversity, which is a partnership between the Football Supporters’ Association and Kick It Out.
The aim of the campaign is to celebrate diversity in football to ensure all fans feel safe and welcome at the game, regardless of age, disability, gender, race, faith, sexual orientation or any other protected characteristic.
