Club Statement: Sexist abuse

Cledara Abbey Stadium

Cambridge United can confirm it has received reports of sexist abuse aimed at a female match official during Tuesday night’s game against Shrewsbury Town…

Within the past 48 hours, the club has identified the individual responsible and they will be sanctioned with a stadium ban, in line with our Supporter Behaviour and Sanctions Policy.

This behaviour is unacceptable and shows not only a lack of respect for match officials, but a broader disregard for our female players, staff and supporters. It has no place at Cambridge United, and we condemn it unequivocally.

The Club is proud to champion equality, inclusion, and respect, ensuring the Cledara Abbey Stadium is a welcoming environment for all.
