Reds teams to continue taking the knee in 2021-22

Liverpool FC's men's and women's teams will continue to take the knee ahead of matches during 2021-22, to show their support in the fight against racism and discrimination.

Since June last year, players of both Reds senior squads have joined many throughout English football in performing the powerful act of taking the knee before kick-off.

Their commitment to raising awareness and instigating important conversations by taking the knee will continue into the new season, reinforcing a clear message: prejudice of any kind is simply unacceptable, in football or in society.

“On behalf of all of the players at Liverpool, I want to restate our commitment to taking the knee in the Premier League this season and welcome the decision that was taken by the Premier League last week,” said men’s captain Jordan Henderson.
