Rainbow Ball...

Cambridge United are proud to support the return of the EFL PUMA Rainbow Ball, which will feature across all Sky Bet EFL fixtures from 20 February to 1 March, including our match against MK Dons this Saturday.

The Rainbow Ball is a symbol of inclusion, unity and pride, celebrating LGBTQ+ fans and reinforcing the EFL and its Clubs’ commitment to ensuring football remains a safe, welcoming environment for all. PUMA will donate to Football v Homophobia for every goal scored with the ball across the Championship, League One and League Two, supporting education and inclusion programmes.

Rainbow Ball

The Club stands Together Against Homophobia and takes a zero-tolerance approach to discriminatory behaviour. Homophobia has no place in football, and anyone found guilty of abuse – in stadiums or online – could face stadium bans and legal action.

Supporters who witness discriminatory behaviour can report it via the Football Safety App, our Report an Incident Form, through Kick It Out, or by alerting a steward.

Legends Return...

Former players from our Club Legends side who represented the U’s at the Bretterknaller 5-a-side Legends Tournament in Germany last month will be at this Saturday’s game.

John Taylor, Wes Hoolahan, Andy Duncan, Ian Miller, Omer Riza, Warren Goodhind, Dave Kitson, Michael Kyd and Danny Potter will be meeting fans from the Junior U’s Kids Zone on Newmarket Road from approx 11:30am and introduced on the pitch at half-time, giving fans the chance to show their appreciation for a special group of U’s favourites.

We are working with our friends at the British Heart Foundation to help turn waste into lifesaving funds, by selling your unwanted goods in their local stores, which helps raise funds that continue their research into heart and circulatory diseases. 

The BHF team will be at the front of the ground on Saturday, nearby the Kids’ Zone, taking donations from supporters. 

Donations of furniture, small electricals, technology, clothing, accessories, books, homeware and more are all welcome. The full list of accepted items can be found here
