Frequently Asked Questions
Pride Cup supports clubs and leagues, from community to elite, to create more inclusive environments through education and iconic rainbow-themed game day activations. We provide game day support - helping teams and clubs execute their PrideGames, LGBTQIA+ inclusion education, and help them bring their communities together to celebrate.
80% of Australians have witnessed or experienced homophobia while participating in or watching sport. As players and as fans, LGBTQIA+ people are being driven away from sport or forced to remain closeted.
Sport is at the heart of Australian culture, but participation levels within the LGBTQIA+ community are extremely low. Pride Cup is challenging homophobia and transphobia within sporting clubs — making them more welcoming for LGBTQIA+ fans, players and officials.
Our approach has been evaluated by Monash University and VicHealth, who found that a club that has participated in a Pride Cup has 40-50% less homophobic behaviour than one that has not. These impacts ripple out into the wider community, making entire communities safer and more inclusive for it’s LGBTQIA+ members.
By connecting with community clubs of all codes to help them run their own Pride Cup matches and attend our education sessions, we are empowering them to become leaders for inclusivity and diversity in their communities.
