Wigan Athletic is delighted to announce that the Football Club has achieved Bronze in the EFL Equality Code of Practice.

 The Club is committed to providing supporters with an enjoyable and inclusive experience, ensuring that the Brick Community Stadium is a safe and welcoming place for everyone to attend. Over the last 12 months, the Club has set up a dedicated 'Tics Together' focus group that meets quarterly to discuss a range of topics, including EDI. Latics' hard work has been rewarded and recognised with the awarding of the Bronze status, a feat that should be celebrated by everyone associated with the Football Club.

Initially launched in 2012, the EFL’s Equality Code of Practice was revamped to become a multi-level accreditation scheme at the start of the 2022/23 season, with 64 of the 67 EFL Clubs achieving at least Bronze by the end of the 2023/24 season, the other five clubs completing the Premier League Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Standard (The PLEDIS)

 EFL Director of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, David McArdle, said: 

“Our 72 Clubs represent communities of people from a wide variety of diverse backgrounds. The EFL’s Code of Practice is the foundation on which our work on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion is built, providing Clubs with a clear framework and setting out exactly what they need to put in place to ensure the Club is reflective of the community at all levels.  

 “The progress being made is very encouraging and the EFL will continue to support and empower all Clubs to make a positive impact on their communities and the wider game.”
